Small Cotton Piece Stuck In Ear Canal, Feeling Dizzy, Hearing Loss. Will It Come Naturally?
Hello, I have a small piece of cotton stuck in my ear canal . I went to see an ER doctor and he said that it should naturally come out on its own. It s been 3 days since I ve seen him. I continue to be dizzy and have some hearing loss which I reported to him when i saw him. How long is this going to last/ when should I expect the cotton to come out?
