Could Q-tip Stuck Inside Ear Cause Any Damage?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I got the cotton end of the Q tip stuck way down in the ear.
I got the cotton end of the Q tip stuck way down in the ear. I had my husband look, friend and she tried to get it out, the her daughter said she saw it. So I went to emercency care and the doctor said there was nothing there. The nurse flushed the ear out. I asked her to look also and she said there was nothing there. But I am concerend that ther is something there. Can this damage my ear if I leave this in, if there is any thing ther. It does feel funny but I really don"t know. I have no insurance and it cost be a big bunch yeaterday. What do you suggest. I am using perioxide,and sweet oil.
