It was 2 days ago and I was using these q-tips mind you I'm 13 I took out the qtip from my right ear and I noticed that the bud was off First I went flushing it out with water didn't work.It didn bother my ear but my mom took me to the local clinic and he tried to get it out but it hurt really bad so I made him stop. Thn we tried flush it out didn't work either and it really hurt. My ear was bleeding and nothing was done. I barely heard from my right ear made things worse. Idk what to do

The cotton should be removed under visualisation with microforcep..don't try to remove by yourself and don't even try to flush as it would soak the water.. visit an ENT specialist..
