What to do when bugs get into ears while sleeping?

Hello!

Bugs love to get into your ear when you’re sleeping because it’s like a small, safe, warm burrow. They are very active at night. They can be ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies… First, you’ll wake up in a panic not knowing what’s vibrating in your ears. Some of you will feel pain, tinnitus, hearing loss…

You guys absolutely pay attention Do not use cotton swabs to poke in because this can push the insect deeper and damage the eardrum. You may experience bleeding, eardrum damage, hearing loss, otitis media…

And here’s the doctor’s advice: First, you have to be really calm. The more you panic, screaming, trying to shake your head or poke your ear all scare the insect and cause it to burrow deeper, hurting your ears. Calmly lie down on the other side of the ear and slowly drip warm water or physiological saline into the ear with the insect so that they suffocate, come out or die. Then take them out.

In case of severe pain, even bleeding, the insect is too large to go to the hospital immediately. Because the hospital has enough modern equipment, the doctor will remove the insects and ensure your safety. After the removal, you may need to take antibiotics if there are signs of infection.
