You may be OK: Was there blood? ICan't know the extent of damage from what you're describing but I would advise you get to an ER at least for some pain relief and to just assess the integrity of the tympanic membrane. If it were me, I'd do it like that...then, they'll give you a name of an ENT to follow up with. Leave the qtips out of the shower and OUT OF YOUR EARS! Wanna talk? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
