go see a doctor, an ENT would be a good bet.

Of course the extra brain cells in your head could only help you.

I'd shove a toad in there to nab that little bug for a snack.

Nah..seriously, go to a doctor to get it removed and flushed. It could have laid some eggs in your ear. When they hatch the larvae will eat at your ear drums and brain.

And you don't want those little buggers to starve, do you?

hold your nose and shut your mouth and BLOW.it should get it out.

this happened to my mother about a month ago, but the bug was still alive.I told her to do the above and the little critter came out.

Has never happened to me, but I think I'd freak out.
