Ants enter the ear and become animal foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, which can be discharged by using ethanol and oil drops in the ear and utilizing liquid buoyancy. However, the best option is to recommend active medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the status of the foreign body and the structural conditions of the ear canal, and then disposed of by a specialist.
When ants enter the ear, they may crawl or gnaw inside the external ear canal. At this time, you should not blindly tap the outer ear or pull out the ear to avoid overly disturbing the ants, which may cause damage to the ear canal due to their frequent activities after being frightened, or cause damage to the eardrum by crawling deeper into the ear canal. The affected ear can be turned upwards and the external ear canal can be soaked using oil or ethanol with a concentration of 75% or less to dislodge the ants with the help of liquid buoyancy.
The best solution is to seek medical attention as soon as possible and leave the ants to a specialist with the help of specialized instruments. The specialist will observe the state of the ants and their specific location in the ear canal through specialized equipment, assess the condition of the external ear canal, and then remove the ants with the help of specialized instruments, as well as visually assessing the damage to the ear canal and treating the ants in a systematic manner.
