how to get a bug out of your ear?
my mom was sleeping when she felt something in her ear she woke up and said that she felt something crawling in her ear i looked in her ear with a light and didn't see anything we put hydrogen peroxide in her ear to see if it would kill the bug and then the bug would just fall out but it didn't, then we tried getting it out with a pair of tweezers but still nothing. if it was any kind of bug it would be a cockroach. does anyone have any advice on what to do we want to avoid going to the doctors but were out of ideas

Try rubbing alcohol put in a cotton ball and put that cotton ball in the ear that should probably get it out that's what my mom did worked for her.or maybe she should try putting some water inside her ear and tilting her head all the way down to the side and shaking it and then moving it all the way down to the opposite side so it gets rinsed out of her ear. good luck.

If there are no infections, I suggest rubbing alcohol, as this would kill the insect, if there is something in there.
I really don't think its a cockroach. My grandpa told me a story of how he got a cockroach in his ear when he was young, and it was so painful, he still remembers it today. He eventually had to go to the doctor, and the doctor dissected the bug and brought it out of his ear.
Flash light wont do any good, try googling: ear picker flash light, they are sold for no more than 2 dollars, and you can use it to pick the ear, or see whats in there. I had a lot of these, and you can see all the way at the ear drum.
