I Was Cleaning My Ear With A Q Tip. Yes

I was cleaning my ear with a q tip. Yes i know your not supposed to. I left it hanging in my ear while checking message's. I forgot about it being in my ear and slammed the side of my head against my hand to get water to drain out in doing so, I rammed the q tip into my ear causing serious, excruciating pain. Have i caused damage to my ear? How do I know if it's okay or not. I cannot afford to go to doctor.
