    Foreign bodies in the ear are common in emergency medicine and can become lodged intentionally or accidentally. Symptoms include ear pain, drainage, irritation, bleeding, and buzzing. First aid involves avoiding probing the ear and trying to dislodge the object by tilting the head; removal may require mechanical, suction, or irrigation techniques. Treatment can involve antibiotics and steroid drops taken multiple times per day for a week.
