What Causes Pain In Ear After Ear Bud Went In Too Far?

I was cleaning my daughters ear with a q-tip and she turned her head causing the q-tip to go in farther than it should have. This was a week ago. During the last couple of days she has been complaining that her ear hurts when she touches her ear and when she runs and jumps. What do I do???

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some injury or soreness in external ear while cleaning with q-tip.
Put antibiotic ear drops 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days.
If pain persisted, then go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
