Will Q-Tip Eventually Come out of my Ear on its own? Posted: 03-25-06 09:31am
The end of the a Q-Tip came off in my ear
and I cannot get it out. My husband has
looked and tried to see if he could get it
out with tweezers. He was unable to
really see it. My question is will it
eventually come out on its own?

No, the Q-Tip won’t come out on its own.
It is best to ask for medical help because
you may damage your outer ear canal or
even the tympanic membrane of the inner if
an unauthorized person tries to help you.
