Hi, so in short, I’ve had an awful two days dealing with a small black carpet beetle larvae (I’m assuming) infestation and became completely neurotic (I have ocd) over the thought of worms inhabiting my ears (I found the bugs in my bed near my pillow) despite knowing it was very unlikely, and have been obsessive compulsively cleaning my ears with a q-tip, and now they hurt. I’m terrified. Has anyone’s ears ever hurt after cleaning them excessively? I think I’m gonna get a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.

You're not supposed to stick them in your ear for that very reason.

Never stick anything in your ears like that as you can cause damage. Leave them alone.
