INSECT ENTRY INTO THE EAR

INSECT ENTRY INTO THE EAR 

In cases of an insect entry into the ear, the first complaint will be of the sensation of a foreign body being present in the ear; there is also presence of some buzzing or whirring sounds in the ear and in most cases the insect tends to sting out of fright leading to acute pain and tenderness in the ear.  First of all, DO NOT use q-tip, tweezer, bobby pin, or any other such "tools" in your ear. That would be like asking for something much worse to happen to you.

HOME REMEDIES 

Apple-Try to attract the insect in the ear by flashing some light into the ear. If the insect does not seem to be attracted to the light,  then place a ripe apple close to the ear. The insect will come out.

Peach – Place a ripened peach close to the ear in which the insect has entered, this will bring out the insect.

Vegetable oil -In cases of  insect being entrapped or stuck in the earwax, pour a teaspoonful of warm vegetable oil into the ear and hold it there for a few moments, then let it pour out by tilting the ear.
