Hi, thanks for your query.
In myopinion, you might have slightly injured the ear canal .hope you have not injured the ear drum.
If the injury is severe then the baby will have pain and cry because of pain holding the ears.
If it is so I would suggest you to give paracetamol syrup 2.5 ml .
If pain continues consult with the doctor.
You cannot see the inside of the ear canal, it has to examined by a specialist only using otoscope or microscope.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
