you may have ruptured your eardrum so it would be wise to see your medical provider. it is not a true emergency but it would be good to be seen today or in the next two days. this is really the only way to determine the extent of the damage. with that said most traumatic ruptures of the eardrum will heal over time but you need to give up this unnecessary habit of using q-tips.
