Art style: 3D stylized animation.
Medium close-up of Alex with his eyes shut tight in a pained wince. One hand is pressed against his head near his ear. He holds a cotton swab in the other hand. Soft lighting and a neutral, out-of-focus background.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "3D stylized animation" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "3D stylized animation". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "3D stylized animation" idiom, not in any other medium.
