Patient's question:
The baby just fell asleep, and I used tweezers to pick it out. Later, his hand came over and touched it. I felt like I moved it a bit inside, and he started crying violently. After soothing him for 1-2 minutes, he fell asleep again. I used a flashlight to look inside, and there was no change, no bleeding. Will the eardrum break?Doctor's answer:
I would be happy to explain the issue based on the situation you described. When cleaning a baby's ears, the eardrum should never be ruptured. If it were ruptured, there would likely be broken skin. I suggest first observing carefully for a few days and avoiding getting water in the ear. If you experience any discomfort, please come back for a follow-up. This is the advice for the question "The baby just fell asleep, and I used tweezers on him," and I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
