This is me and Allie.Tonight Allie was over at my house for a labor day bbq.
Something very unfortunate happened.
A moth type bug flew into her ear.
It became stuck there for 4-5 hours.This was a very uncomfortable time for Allie.
For future reference here is how to get a bug out of an ear according to the Mayo Clinic...
- Stay Calm. If you are treating someone else, especially a child, stay calm. This will help your patient stay calm as well.
- Have the patient lean over with their ear facing upwards.
- Fill the ear with baby oil, mineral oil, vegetable oil or olive oil. This will kill the insect and cause it to stop moving. If you don't have access to one of the oils listed above, you can attempt to use clean water only.
- Flush the ear with warm water allowing it to overflow. Watch carefully for the insect to be flushed out.
- If you are unable to fully remove the insect using this technique, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
