A member asked:
My daughter has got sand in her ear, its quite deep down so i can only see it when i pull the ear lobe back. ?

See below: If there is no effect on hearing in the affected ear, there is no discharge from the ear, there is no pain and there are only a few grains of sand, you may leave it alone, it will come out on its own. If there is hearing impairment, pain or discharge, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you and your daughter good health!

Flush with saline: probably best to go to ER, but if you point the affected ear down to the ground and gently flush with saline, should do the trick. Suggest you let a skilled emergency doctor or nurse perform this task
