After a bath today I was cleaning my ears out with a cotton bud. My toddler came and knockede and I put it really far in my ear, it absolutely killed but only for a few seconds. Then the pain went, no immediate ringing or loss of hearing. I forgot about it until about an hour ago when I started getting really bad pain, it's not actually in my ear though, it's more on the outside of my face right next to my ear, more where the cheekbone meets the ear if that makes sense...it's really really sore, I've been walking around holding it cos it's so sore. I don't know what to do but it hurts and I'm panicking. (I have bad health anxiety)
