When I got home after work two days ago, MILs told me that Champion had used a cotton bud and pushed it into his ears. Apparently, he was followed what his elder cousins were doing. MILs was cooking at that time, and hardly realised what had happened. She only heard Champion crying.
Arrggh! He had pushed the cotton bud into his ears.. and a bit too much that he felt pain. After a little while, he stopped crying and continued playing, she said. So, she asumed that he was okay. She asked him whether she should called apps, he gave a BIG no. So, she left him to play.
When I asked him whether it was painful, he gave me a BIG no! Okay, since Champion didn't complain of any pain, I thought it should be fine.
But, I knew that when Champion gives a BIG no, its a YES. So, fearing of any internal injury, I asked apps to check his ears in the morning (he slept of early that night). Guess what we saw? He has dried blood, which flowed out to the outer of his ear. Ouch! We felt the pain. Can you imagine? Pushing in something your ears, till it bleeds?
Apps checked. Of course, Champion was reluctant. But I had to hold him down. This was not something to play. Unfortunately, there were dried blood covering his ear drum. So, apps was unable to assess the injury. He said we have to wait till the dried blood clears off.
Apps checked again this morning. To our great relieve, Champion had only hurt his side walls of the ear, and NOT his ear drum.
Phew! What a relieve.
