Hi, yesterday I accidentally hit my ear drum with a qtip while cleaning my ears. It wasn t a hard hit, more like a slight touch. No blood or anything has come out, but when I yawn it does a slight pop sound as if I am changing in elevations. Should this go away after a few days, or is it serious?
Hello There may be a injury on the drum. My advice to you: Keep your ear dry Donot instill any drops Avoid forceful blowing , coughing and sneezing. Can start an antihistamine for 1 wk Donot scratch your ear again in future.
