I was cleaning my ears out with cotton buds and suddenly one of my ears went fuzzy as if there was some wool stuck in there. I can't feel anything and my mum says she cant see anything, but its been a while now and it still hasnt gone away. Could there be something stuck? I wasn't poking far in at all but I hope I haven't damaged it. Should I go to the docs tomorrow if its still the same?

I clean my ears when I'm in the shower. I just kinda scrape my fingernail upwards across the hole without going into it.
Seriously, it's soooooo potentially dangerous to poke a cotton bud in your ear.
ETA: water can, if you do it every day.
