Playdough in the ear requires active medical treatment.
When playdough enters the ear, if it is in the form of lumps, professional instruments can be used to gradually peel it off from the wall of the external ear canal and take it out; if it is in the form of patches, it can be slowly taken out after being held; if it is in the form of crumbs or particles, it can be flushed out with warm physiological saline; and when it has been stuffed into the ear canal at a deeper level, it can be sucked out with a suction device.
When playdough enters the ear, it is not recommended to blindly try to clean it or manipulate it on your own, as this may push the foreign body deeper into the ear, making subsequent treatment difficult and causing unnecessary damage to the ear canal and eardrum.
In conclusion, when playdough enters the ear, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.
