When a flying insect enters the ear, you should seek medical attention in time to have it removed with the help of a doctor. If you can’t get to the doctor in time, you can have temporary treatment through external oil drops and flashlight irradiation.
1. When flying insects enter the ear inadvertently, you should go to the ear, nose and throat department of the hospital in a timely manner, and the doctor will take them out. Don’t try to take out by scratching, so as not to stimulate the flying insects to run inward and damage the tympanic membrane, middle ear and other ear tissues.
2. If you can not get medical treatment in time, you can use external oil drops into the external ear canal to drown or wrap the flying insects, and then tilt the head position after the body of the flying insects can flow out of the ear with the oil. The available oils include peanut oil and sesame oil.
Smaller insects generally have phototropic properties, then if the ear canal is irradiated from the outside to the inside with a flashlight in a dark environment, the flying insects in the ear can usually crawl or fly out of the ear canal under the influence of phototropic properties, thus solving the problem of flying insects in the ear.
3. If the bugs are large or move violently in the ear, the patient should go to the ENT department in time if he/she has pain symptoms.
