This video shows retained cotton in the deper ear passage after Q-tip usage in the presence of an ear polyp. Loose cotton tip can becomes accidentally detached and left behind to cause foreign body reaction. It can cause irritation, blocked ear and reduced hearing, as well as a potential source of secondary infection. It is advisable to seek medical treatment in cases of recurrent earwax impaction and unexplained ear irritation to avoid this complication.
