Hello... If you had used stick , buds to clean child's ear ,it would have injured ear. . See if he is only one ear or both... If he is persistently rubbing one eye and cries a lot then something is wrong... Be watchful on child activities ... If he can listen to you properly with one ear closed then don't worry.
