Answer 4

Oh as gross as it sounds, it definately can! There was once a story about a man who had a spider crawl into his ear in his sleep, and the only way he knew it was there was because he could keep hearing the spider moving and scratching around in there. He actually had to see a surgeon to have it removed. I would go and see a doctor as soon as you can. They'll be able to look into your sons inner ear and see if there is a spider in there or not. Even if he is just complaining of ear pain, i would still take him, there might be some medication the doctor can give him to stop that. Hope it all works out ok =]

Answer 5

No it is quite common to have spiders,moths and other creatures to go in your ear and it can cause some pain so i would advise trying to pull out the spider but if it looks to deep please consult a doctor as you could damage the ear trying yourself.

Spiders are also swallowed quite allot
