A member asked:
3 days ago hurt ear with q-tip. pain. felt like fluid in ear too. pain is gone, but have had tinnitus for 2 days. likely ruptured ear drum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear exam: Did your ear feel blocked before you used a qtip in it? If not then you may have traumatized the canal or drum. I recommend an ear exam to see if the canal is blocked with wax or traumatized or if the canal or drum has been traumatized.
