How to get a fly out of your ear at home

Flies are one of the most common insects that a person very often encounters in his life. Meetings with small annoying creatures are possible not only at home, but also in nature, where there are usually much more insects. Sticking around a walking person, they can fly into the nose, ears and eyes, giving the victim great discomfort. Many people get lost not knowing what to do if a fly flies in their ear.

About the consequences of penetration

Tourists resting in the lap of nature are especially often faced with similar situations. Such a case should not be ignored, since the consequences of the presence of a living creature in the ear can have very negative consequences.

• If a fly hits the ear, it will try its best to free itself from captivity, creating noise with its stirring and irritating the walls of the auditory opening. Such actions cause dizziness and pain in the head.
• May cause severe itching. Combing the itchy area can lead to damage to the insect, resulting in deeper penetration of fragments of its body into the auditory canal, which can cause serious illness. Therefore, in no case should you allow combing of the ear canal, inside which a fly, bug or other living creature has got.
• Due to the fact that many flies eat rotting organic waste and carrion, an insect caught in the ear opening can become a carrier of serious diseases.

What to do if a fly flies in your ear

The first thing to do when a fly or other insect flies into your ear is not to panic. A living creature is not able to penetrate the brain, as it will meet an obstacle in its way - the eardrum.

In such situations, it is preferable to use the help of a qualified specialist. He can not only quickly and safely get the fly out of his ear, but also treat the cavity, preventing the spread of bacteria introduced by the insect.

Without such an opportunity, you can try to get the fly out of your ear at home on your own.

1. For this, sunflower oil or boric alcohol is instilled into the ear canal using a pipette, a syringe without a needle or a teapot. Vodka or any other alcohol tincture will also help to take out the fly, which will have an intoxicating effect on the stuck pest, thereby neutralizing it. The liquid will also impede the process of respiration of the insect, from which it will try to get out on its own. If the desired result cannot be achieved, it is necessary to wait until the small offender drowns in the liquid.
2. When the fly in the ear stops moving, rinse the auditory opening with warm water using a syringe or the same syringe without a needle.
3. A pest emerging from the ear canal must be checked for integrity.

If after several attempts to extract an insect this way fails, then you need to get an otolaryngologist consultation as soon as possible.

What you need to know

If the fly is stuck in the ear, do not pick it out with a toothpick, match or cotton swab.

Important!

You can not take out a living individual with tweezers. Such actions can cause damage to the ear canal.

If you have doubts about the fact that not a fly, but another foreign object could get into your ear, then you should not pull it out by rinsing with water. Such a process can cause swelling of the stuck element, as a result of which it will be extremely difficult to get it later.
