Sore ear
Hi,
A couple of days ago I couldn't hear properly with my right ear, so I cleaned it with a cotton bud (yes, I know that is really stupid). Turns out I had wax, but I still can't really hear with it, there is a clear liquid in my ear, and I have a bit of a pain; its kind of throbbing and starting and stopping every few seconds, but the pain is kind of sharp and stabbing. It also hurts a bit to touch near the entrance to the ear canal bit.
I read on the internet that it can mean you have torn your ear drum and that it usually heals on its own and stuff. It also says to keep it dry.
Any suggestions on how I can keep it dry when I'm in the shower?
I'm a young teen, and I'm kind of too embarrassed to tell my parents, so anyway that I could do it without them noticing.
Also, any suggestions on how stop the pain?
Anyone that wants to lecture me on how I shouldn't have used a cotton bud, don't bother.
Thank-you for useful answers. Xx
