Do's

  • The content in this section is in bullet points.

Don'ts

  • The content in this section is in bullet points.

DO NOT block any drainage coming from the ear. DO NOT try to clean or wash the inside of the ear canal. DO NOT put any liquid into the ear. DO NOT attempt to remove the object by probing with a cotton swab, a pin, or any other tool. To do so will risk pushing the object farther into the ear and damaging the middle ear. DO NOT reach inside the ear canal with tweezers.
