I have had more than enough ear infections, ear problems to last me a life time.. Lol, Im so serious! One time i was at my grandmas house, and i had just gotten out of the shower, so my brother was laying down on my grandmas bed and i was watching tv, (with q-tips in my ears getting ready to get back up) Out of nowhere, my brother hugs me, STRANGE, my brother never hugs me, and his elbow hits one of the q-tips in my ear and POP it goes into my ear, SO, Its in my ear, I screamed louder than anything! I didnt know if it was stuck, or if i would go deaf or what, i was sooo scared! So we went to the hospital and i ruptured my ear drum, So tip to everyone dont keep q-tips in your ears, around little ones..

Kim, Sorry you are hurting, Prayers are on the way! Im sure you will be fine, That's kind of how my moms situation was awhile back, hers was popping out blood!

Hope you feel better real soon!
