Can A Q-tip Hurt While Cleaning Ears?

my daughter got a hold of a Q-tip and proceeded to clean her ears but she shoved it in too far and cried for 15 minutes... I'm really concerned and want to do something but don't want to get looked at funny for walking in to the ER when there has been no bleeding. Please help!!
