HELP!! please.. My Right Ear's got pierced accidentally by cotton bud and IT!
Question: Yesterday Night, Like usual, I was putting the cotton bud in my right ear after taking bath to remove any water trapped inside.
However (This is the bad thing) I FORGOT TO REMOVE THE COTTON BUD AFTER USE.
Suddenly, i felt itchy on that ear and.. when i wanted to relieve that with my hand. ACCIDENTALLY, I PUSHED THE COTTON BUD INTO MY RIGHT EARS. I quickly removed the cotton bud. . And in a second, it bleed. (Although I'm sure It's not too deep, but it bleed! The direction I pushed the cotton bud is Upwards, so it hit the lower part inside of my right ear.
Since then, I cannot hear. I could say, my hearing on the right is reduced by 90%. It feels like my right ear got stuffed by something. and currently, I can only hear a buzzing sound..
Pls.. Anyone can give a solution..?
Before I go to a Doctor.
Thanks a lot.

Go to your family doctor or local Emergency Room NOW!
Unless you are willing to risk permanent hearing lost. This is how my younger brother lost the hearing in one of his ears. He ruptured his ear drum, and then developed an infection that he neglected.
He was just lucky the infection didn't spread to his brain.
Like I said...see a doctor ASAP.
Want more info...check this site out on perforated ear drums:
Sounds like you either have a ruptured eardrum or you just scraped the ear canal. I did both about 2 months ago.
I suggest you go the doctor.
Yeah thats sounds really serious, but it could go away in a few days ;)
Please Go See Your Doc! Hearing and seeing are not things to mess with!!
Sounds like you broke your eardrum. Go to a doctor for treatment today, I don't think it requires the ER but it does require being looked at very very soon.
With proper treatment it will probably be okay.
