For the first time, I woke up at 4 o’clock on my own, without an alarm ringing . To be precise, I woke up because something was surfing in my ear canal.
Haha, jekpot.

The first thing that comes to mind is looking for a cell phone. Doing something without any knowledge is dangerous isn’t it.
Unless we have heard or experienced something similar before.
With the incessant sound of wings flapping or feet surfing in the ear, I found some points that said not to panic when your ear is infested with insects.
Okay, that’s a pass.
Then some said to put oil in the ear to kill the bugs, seriously?
This is not what I expected.
Another page says to cover the other ear that does not contain insects, so that the insects come out looking for a source of oxygen.
Makes sense, since our ears are interconnected.
So I covered the other ear with cotton wool.
Another page directed me to shine a flashlight into the ear hole so that the insects would look for a light source.
Yes, but how long do I have to shine it, while Mas Imam (a friend from the neighborhood) has started to start live (solo) at the mosque.
This meant that it was already half past five -_- At around six in the morning, it seemed that the insect was tired after a hard workout.
He stopped.
Arriving at the office, I tried to ask the doctor about this.
After looking at it, it turned out that there was a small insect inside the ear that had died.
R.I.P. May he not regret his slightly dark end.
Does this insect need to be removed?
The doctor said that there was no need.
Because of its small size.
It will decompose and come out with the earwax when we clean it.
Actually, we can clean it by going to an ENT doctor.
But, our ears will be very clean from the dirt that is needed by the ear to protect against foreign objects that will enter the ear.
But, if the insects that enter are large, of course it is necessary to remove them.
So, some points to note might be.
Don’t panic.
Do not put liquid to make the insect die in the ear.
Because we don’t know if our ears are injured by insects, and any liquid can create an infection.
Or even make the insect pressed and go deeper and reach the eardrum.
Going to an ENT doctor is the best, haha.
Other than covering the other ear temporarily.
Hope you don’t experience this, Cheerz!
