Getting a bug or mosquito suddenly in the ear can be an extremely disturbing and frightening experience. This can cause tingling, pain, ringing, ringing in the ear, or a crawling (walking) sensation. In such a situation, people often panic and start putting a finger, pin, matchstick or any other sharp object in the ear, which aggravates the problem instead of reducing it.

2. Use warm oil

If you are absolutely sure that a worm has entered the ear and the eardrum is not ruptured (or damaged), you can put 2 drops of warm coconut oil, baby oil or olive oil in the ear. Adding oil either kills the worm or floats to the surface, which can be easily removed.

If the worm does not come out even after applying oil or tilting the head, then immediately go to the doctor (ENT specialist) without delay. Also, if there is blood or pus coming out of the ear or sudden loss of hearing, one should go straight to the hospital without resorting to any home remedies.
