Aspirating into ear (self-draining cauliflower ear)

So I was trying to drain my own ear and I aspirated some air into my ear to create a vacuum effect. When I did it, that region of my ear poofed up. I'm concerned if I did any more damage or made things worse. I drew the syringe back and nothing came out.I poked my ear again trying to draw and . I repoked my ear again to see if I can draw the air and any blood out. a little bit of fluid came out but nothing else. I'm freaking out a little bit and not sure what to do. The area seems squisher than before.

is it just air in my ear? will it come out by itself? I'm icing and applying some pressure right now.

I am not following? Vacuum is negative pressure. Why the hell would you increase pressure? The syringe plunger retracting creates a vacuum.

It’s probably just air. It gets absorbed / escapes. Not a big deal unless relatively large amounts are directly injected into a vein / artery.

But for real, quit poking yourself and trying to drain if you don’t know what you are doing. One of the gals at our gym is a nurse and is our resident ear drain specialist. Don’t be afraid to ask your gym owner who normally does all theirs.

You’re fine dude. As long as it’s not going into a vein or artery it can’t hurt you.
