Can you break the cartilage outside your ear?

What's wrong with my ear?!?!?! D:?

• yesterday morning i was cleaning my ears out and i guess i shoved the Q-tip too far into my left ear now i can't hear anything in that ear i used ear drops and warm water to try and break down the wax but it didn't help every once in a while i was able to kind of "plunge" it lol so i could hear better but now i can't hear at all in my left ear it's been over 24 hours and the piece of cartilage between my ear and cheek is really swollen it feels like i have water in my ear or my ear won't pop i've try yawning also it didn't start hurting until i woke up this morning i have to wait like 1 1/5 weeks to get a doctors appointment and i don't think i'll be able to last that long with my ear like this what's wrong with my ear?!?!?!?!?

• Answer:

  Maybe you should try Hydrogen Peroxide. I use it when i have bad ear clogs, just be sure to keep your head leaned to one side so it wont spill out. But if your ear is still clogged, then you may have ruptured your ear drum..especially if you are experiencing swelling. I hope any of this helped.
