Does using a cotton swab in your ear tickle your throat?

Asked by trumi (6491points) April 5th, 2009

I know I’m not supposed to use a cotton swab, AKA a Q-Tip, to clean out the ear canal, but I still do on occasion. When I do, it often tickles the back of my throat and makes me cough. Is this strange? Has it ever happened to you?
