Question

It feels like there’s a bug in my ear.

Answer

It is recommended to visit the otorhinolaryngology department of a hospital for a check-up to rule out secretory otitis media. If there is no inflammation, it may be neural itching. The following measures can be taken to alleviate the symptoms:

  1. Gently massage the ear around with your index and thumb.
  2. Purchase a 50ml ear wash ball from a pharmacy, cut off about 1cm from the mouth of the ball, and use it to breathe into the ear to relieve the itching.
