What to do if a fly gets into your ear

In the summer, there are a lot of flies, mosquitoes and other small flying insects. Many people particularly hate these small flying insects because they feel that they carry bacteria and will affect their health. However, many people have experienced flies flying into their ears in the summer. When this happens, you must remain calm and do not use cotton swabs or ear picks to try to get the flies out.

What should you do if a fly gets into your ear? You need to go to the hospital. Flies in the ears may sometimes injure the eardrum or the external auditory canal. You can first use antibiotic eye drops to the ear to kill the fly, and then go to the hospital to remove it.

What should you do if a bug gets into your ear? 1. If a bug flies into your ear, do not use an ear pick to pick it out. If you do, the bug will be irritated and fly inside, which can easily damage the eardrum. 2. If a small flying insect flies into the ear, you might as well take advantage of the biological characteristics of some insects that they are phototropic. You can shine a flashlight on the opening of the external auditory canal in the dark. The insect will crawl out on its own when it sees the light. You can also blow a puff of cigarette into the ear to choke the insect out.

3. If the above method does not work, lie on your side with the affected ear facing upwards, and then drop a few drops of cooking oil into the ear to stick to, kill, or suffocate the insects. When the bug in the ear stops struggling, flush the ear canal with warm water to flush the bug out. 4. In ancient Chinese medical books, there are records of "if hundreds of insects enter the ear, pour in good wine to kill them" and dripping sesame oil into the ear canal to kill the insects. The purpose of using wine and oil is to drown or kill the insects quickly, or even if they are not dead, make them unable to move, so as to avoid some pain. Then you can calmly go to the ENT department of the hospital and let the doctor remove it. What to do if foreign objects enter the ear? Sand or coal slag enters the ear canal. If sand, coal slag or other substances enter the ear canal, and if these substances are not particularly large, you can simply turn the ear with foreign objects downwards and gently tap the auricle a few times with your hand, and the foreign objects will easily fall out. Iron filings enter the ear canal. If iron filings accidentally enter the ear canal, you can directly use magnetic materials to suck them out. When using Xiyong magnets to absorb iron filings, it is best to use those thin stick-like magnets, which can go slightly deeper into the ear canal and make it easier to suck out the iron filings. The bean enters the ear canal. If a bean particle gets into your ear, do not drip water or other medicine into the ear. Otherwise, the beans in the ear canal will swell due to moisture, making it more difficult to remove foreign objects in the ear canal. When encountering this situation, you can directly drop some 70% alcohol or white wine into the ear. These solutions can make the beans smaller.
