When a child is playing outdoors, sometimes insects fly and are trapped into the ear. In some cases, an insect enters the ear while a child is asleep. The insect dies after entering the ear, but other insects remain alive and try to find a way back out of the ear. In these cases, the insect can cause fear and discomfort for a child.
Sometimes, objects may get stuck in the ear. It can cause pain, infection, and hearing loss if not removed right away. Small children may not be aware of it.
