What to do if a bug flies into your ear

Flying insects into the ear can be temporarily treated by external drops of oil, flashlight irradiation, larger insects or severe pain symptoms should be promptly sought medical treatment. 1. Flying insects inadvertently into the ear can use oil drops into the external auditory canal, common oils are peanut oil, sesame oil and so on. The oil poured into the external auditory canal can generally drown the flying insects in the ear, and the bodies of flying insects can flow out of the ear with the oil after tilting the head position. 2. Smaller flying insects usually have phototropic properties, then you can use a flashlight to irradiate the mouth of the external auditory canal from the outside to the inside in a dark environment, and the flying insects in the ear can crawl or fly out from the mouth of the ear canal under the effect of phototropic properties, so as to solve the problem of the flying insects into the ear. 3. If the bugs are large or frequently active in the ear, they can cause severe pain, which should be treated in ENT department in time. Generally, anesthetic liquid or oil is poured into the external ear canal to anesthetize or drown the flying insects and then remove them. If a flying insect enters the ear accidentally, it should not be removed by sticking a sharp object into the external ear canal to avoid damaging the eardrum or other tissues in the ear.
