Mosquito in the ear
Hello, I was sleeping and suddenly a mosquito flew into my ear. I tried not to panic and held still. Since it happened late at night and there was nobody to help me out, I didn't try to poke it around at all. I could hear the mosquito flap around its wings and try to get out but it couldn't. I can't hear it anymore so I'm assuming it's dead inside my ear. What should I do? Are there any drops which I can put in the ear without having to go to the ENT doctor?
