How To Get Stuck Qtip Out Of Ear?
I have the top of a qtip stuck in my ear Its deep enough so that my mom cant even see it It is also wet because i dripped some water on it before putting it in. Any suggestions on how to get it out? And what will happen if i wait til the morning to go to the doctor?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
If nobody can see the cotton tip inside your ear, a doctor has to remove it. Please dont manipulate it as it can cause skin injury and bleeding. Also do not put anything inside ear. Qtip will not get infected if you wait till morning to go to the doctor.But better to get it removed fast.
All the best
