Ear Itching: Precautions and Medication
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I'm a 25-year-old female, and I've been experiencing itching in my ear all day. Upon inspection, I discovered a strange white object in my ear. Initially, I thought it might be a fly or a worm, but it doesn't seem to be moving. I tried washing my ear with water, but the object remained unchanged. There's no pain, just a peculiar itching sensation.
