Using Qtip For Ear Water Removal, Inserted Deep After Sneezing, Pain In Ear. Tingling Sensation On Forehead. Has This Caused Damage?
I was using a qtip to get the water out of my ears earlier this week and I sneezed...it went to far in my ear and I immediately felt pain. The pain has gone away but ever since then I have this tingling sensation on the top right side of my foreheard and a bit down towards my cheek bone...could I have damaged something?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some soreness in external ear due to q-tip.
Nothing to worry.
Put antibiotic ear drops.
If pain and soreness increaes, go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and take care.
