I get recurrent ear pain whenever I clean my ears with tips
hi I know how frustrating this problem can get you can follow the advice mentioned below please stop using earbuds tips as they introduce infections into a sensitive region such as the ear if there is pus coming out of your ear there is a possibility of you developing an ear infection that may or may not involve the eardrum take tablet amoxicillin 500 my with potassium clavulanate 125 my combination one tablet thrice times a day after food for one week along with this you can also take a combination of paracetamol phenylephrine and levocetirizine one tablet twice daily for one week keep your ears closed with sterile cotton and change it every six hours do not allow any water or air to enter into your ear as it can keep getting infected and pus or ear discharge will start once again in a case where if by chance there is perforation of the eardrum it will close on its own once the discharge subsides do not worry about it you will be completely fine in a week time I hope this helps
hello doctor last february I have had an ear infection from cleaning my left ear too often with a tip I went to the hospital and was prescribed aplosyn optic drops celebrex and an antibiotic which starts with a letter I forgot it as I lost the prescription I am sorry I took it for a week and went back to the doctor to have me flushed he told me my eardrum was not perforated all went well until two nights ago I gently cleaned my left ear with a tip after shower before going to sleep I woke up the following morning with mild pain in my ear maybe because I was sided left all throughout my sleep and have put so much pressure on it today I used a mirror to have a look at it looks like it has pus again and the moderate pain now is up to my left neck what should I do please help
