How Would I Know If There Are Any Damages In My 10 Months Old Niece ?

I was cleaning my 10 month old niece s ears using a normal-sized cotton buds (q-tips). I didn t know it was wrong. I think I inserted the buds as far as they can go inside the ear, and I m worried if I caused any damage to her ears and/or hearing. How would I know if there are any damages?

was there any bleeding from the ear? did your baby cry loudly for a longer duration of time? if not nothing to be worried.but getting your baby checked by an ENT surgeon is the best choice.
