Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. For immediate relief take an anti-allergy tablet such as Allegra or Montair once a day for 2 days. A wax dissolving drop will help.
2. Avoid scratching the ear as it will worsen the itching.
3. Get the ear examined as soon as possible to rule out any fungal infection, ear infection, ear foreign body and many other conditions that may cause intense itching.
4. Sometimes the itching is a referred sensation due to a cold, sinusitis, acid reflux or irritation to the throat or teeth.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
