What’s this in child’s ear? (Photo)

[2019Dancerz]

Hi, noticed this in 6 year old’s ear just now. Is this what wax looks like? To be honest it looks a bit like some popcorn (which we do have in the house) but ds claims no knowledge... Don’t want to embarrass myself at minor injuries if this is what wax looks like!
His other ear isn’t like this.
Thanks!;

I would be menacing my DS by now, with gritted teeth, saying 'If you don't tell me right now what you put in there, I will [insert appropriate denial of privileges]'

How come he gets to not disclose what it is??!

I suppose @ordinarygirl, because there's no proof as yet that it is a foreign object?

No idea what it is but shamelessly placemarking!

Hope he's ok OP

I got a tic tac stuck up my nose when I was small but luckily it could be snorted out! Hope A&E can help. They must have something that can suck it out...

What is it??

I once got a mint poppet lodged up my nostril when babysitting with a friend, I have never felt such panic!

Hope it's out now.

Looks like it could be a piece of popcorn to me. Friday night and I'm looking forward to finding out what is stuck down a child's ear 🙈🤣 hope the wait isn't too long op

Spider egg sack?

Poor thing. Hope it comes out quickly and pain free. Poor you too, having to sit in a&e all night!

Sorry for all the comments, don't know what happened there!

Most children in my family have done this going back about four generations (ears AND noses). So over the years that’s a lot of random stuff in a lot of kids. Lego men, peas, rolled up tin foil, beads 🙄

Poor thing, hope it comes out easily whatever it is. My friend once had a peanut up her nose for weeks - caused terrible breath - took the doctors ages to figure out what had happened

My DSD stuck a piece from a playset up her nose when she was younger that required a trip to A&E.

She wanted to see if it fit. 🤦🏼‍♀️

There was a thread on here about a boy that smelt so bad. The mum was asking for advice on why. Experienced mumsnetters worked out he had something stuck in his nose. When the mum took him to the doctors he pulled out a whiffy rotten rolled up sticker

That fly story

Hope we you find out what it is soon

It looks like a film of was to me, was your flash on when you took that pic? It could be shining off the wax.

My spornyspideysense just went off

I think popcorn too. Ds2 stuck a kernal up his nose once. Dh sucked it out with a straw.

Ooh does look like a popcorn kernel but who knows with kids. Hope the wait isn’t too long.
