What Causes Bruise Inside My Ears?

My daughter used a q-tip in her ear about a week ago and I think she bruised her ear drum, it hurt for a day or two and has been good ever since, This morning she belched a bit and the pain came back, although not all the time . It seems to be in waves and then disappears, I think she may have bruised it again with the force of air, Any ideas?
