Hi. i was sleeping this evening and a bug got into my ear. i felt like i felt the buzzing from it. we have tried flushing a solution of water and vine?

Mineral oil: Put mineral oil in the ear (should be able to get at any drug store). Leave in 20 or 30 minutes, which kills the bug. Should then be able to gently flush out the ear with water or saline.
