What to do if a bug flies into your ear

In daily life, some unexpected things are bound to happen, such as small insects entering the eyes; small insects flying into the ears, etc. What should you do if a small insect flies into your ears? The ears are quite sensitive. Once a small insect flies in, don't use force. Instead, find a way to lure the insect out. You can use a flashlight; you can also drop oil into the ear to kill the insect. In short, once the insects enter the ear, they must be cleaned out in time.

First aid for insects in the ear

1. Use a flashlight to shine

If a small insect flies into the ear canal, you should immediately go to a dark place and use a flashlight or a lit match to shine into the ear canal where the insect is. The insect will fly out when it sees the light.

2. Blow a puff of smoke into your ears

You can also use fumigation to drive away the bugs by blowing cigarette smoke into the ear hole to choke the bugs out;

3. Ear drops

You can drop a few drops of cooking oil or glycerin into the ear. After 2-3 minutes, tilt your head to the affected side, and the bugs will flow out with the oil. Or you can take an appropriate amount of ginger, mash it and drip the juice into the ear, or take an appropriate amount of vinegar and drip it into the ear, then the bugs will come out.

4. Olive Oil

You can drop a drop of olive oil into the ear to kill the insects, then tilt the ear to one side to let the killed insects fall out.

5. Onion juice

Take an appropriate amount of onion juice and add sesame oil to rinse the ears, and the bugs will come out. However, after the bugs come out, the ear canal should be rinsed with clean water. However, if the effect is not obvious, you should go to the hospital in time to have it removed by a professional doctor.

How to prevent foreign objects from entering the ears

1. When a small insect flies into the ear canal, it will normally cause a buzzing sound. At this time, you should cover your ears with both hands and open your mouth to prevent injury to the eardrum.

2. Generally speaking, earwax can maintain the ear canal at a moderate temperature and prevent dust, insects, etc. from contacting the eardrum. Therefore, it is best not to pick earwax casually.

3. Children should be educated not to pick their ears without permission. When playing with toys, they should not put small objects into their ears. If the child is young, it is best to have an adult accompany him when playing.

4. If water accidentally enters the ear canal while swimming or bathing, the water should be drained out of the ear canal in time to avoid otitis media.

5. When small round beads or glass balls slip into the ear canal, do not use pliers to remove them, as the pliers may slip and send the foreign objects deep into the ear canal.
