What Causes Pain In Ear After A Q Tip Insertion?

Hi. My daughter got ahold of a Q-tip and put it in her ear. We were unaware of this until about an hour ago when she started complaining of pain. It was at least 2 to 3 hours ago that she apparently put it into her ear. No blood is noticed. Should I be worried?
