Piece of garlic stock in the nose drill

ok this might sound wired but I had some sinus problems so I decided to put a clove of garlic into my nose. A little piece somehow got stock in my nose drill and now I am in panic I have a feeling it is in my ear. How dangerous is it and is there anything I can do.

Hi,

Please do not attempt these type of things in the future it might get struck in the nose and lead to infections. There are few chances of the garlic clove entering into the ear via nose. The opening of the eustachian tube is not wide enough to allow such a thing to enter inside the ear. Kindly consult your ENT specialist for proper evaluation.

The only way to get it out is to see an ENT.  It should be varily easy to remove.  You could go to the ER today, but any ENT should take you as an emergencey patient tomorrow.  

Take care.
