Some issue with ear?

2021-08-25 13:04:01
So last year when i put a q tip inside my ear it was fine, but when i rolled it, upper part of the ear canal hurt, i checked with ent, he did put a metalic thing and checked when he touched the skin of the outer canal, it did hurt like a stabby pain, even after a year when I gently put q tip, same feeling, this is happeningg in left ear, right ear i can gently clean without issues, is there any issue with ear canal? And yes i dont use qtip just to check the same issue, i tried it very very gently but the same.. Is there some issue with the cartilage/bone there? Please help.

Do not use anything in the ears. You can switch from earphones to headphones to allow healing of any scratch if any in the ear canal.

Repeated use of Q tips can be harmful to the ear and can lead to repetitive ear infections, please do not use Q tips, you can even tear your ear drum and become deaf for life. The only real use of Q tips is Time pass Entertainment value
