Cotton stuck in ear

2022-10-01 19:28:11
I generally use an ear bud to clean my ears. However today while using one, i found that cotton has gotten stuck inside my ear. There is no pain yet but my ear feels jammed. I have used warm oil for the night. But i am seriously seeking help.

First of all you should never put ear buds or anything else inside the ear. You shouldn't have put oil. Visit ENT doctor in morning to get it removed.
