I have learned that one of my sister's children lodged a pencil eraser in their ear..one of many self-harmful things they did. what could be wrong?

Routine occurance: I don't consider this a specific indicator of anything more than an inquisitive kid. I have retrieved wads of paper, beads, and other kid inserted debris from the nose and ears.Sometimes they try it to see what it feels like and an eraser in the ear is more dramatic than their finger tip. Kids explore the world and do many senseless things, but that is how they learn and develop experience.
