Ear trauma: Local wound care usually involves washing with a gentle soap and water twice daily, applying antibiotic ointment and monitoring for signs of infection. Poking INSIDE the ear increases risk of damage to the eardrum, and this can be seen by your healthcare practitioner with an otoscope (tympanic membrane ruptures usually heal up on their own but do need to be monitored).
