Yes. If you can't get it out on your own, you need to see a doctor. It could lead to an infection.

That is a foreign body in your ear. It will become moist from showers, baths, etc. and can easily cause an infection. If you start having pain in your ear see an MD, mainly an ear, nose, and throat specialist since they are used to dealing with things like this and gneral practitioners are not. They have instruments that can remove the cotton. Don't try to attempt to get if out by your self because you could rupture your ear drum and that could mean surgery to repair that. Good luck.

You need to get it taken out. If you don't you can get a lot of bacteria built up in your ear and get an ear infection which can lead to other problems.

Make an appointment with a doctor or go to the Emergency room.

Yes this is a problem! You need to see an ENT Dr. (ear/nose/throat) to get this removed. this will cause hearing problems and you could develop an infection. If you go have this done they can get it out in a matter of mins.
I would definitely recommend going to the dr.

Try putting oil in your ear to make it slip out, put much oil there and then turn your head to make the oil go out. try it several times, if it does not help - go to a doctor.
