Brief Answer:
If you use it the next few days still have the feeling of ear stuck you may need to do ear check

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question Bdmccormick. Hope I can be of help for you today.

Through reading your query I would like to help you with this question. Felt stuck in your ear after taken antibiotic ear drops can be caused from the fluid stays in the middle ear. The middle ear infection alone can cause you to decrease hearing and block if there is pus or swelling of the canal. So when you have ear blocks it doesn’t mean that one of the side effects of the drug. If you use it the next few days still have the feeling of ear stuck you may need to do ear check to see if there are any increase of infection or ear wax formation that can cause you feel ear stuck.

I hope that can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I Hope you have good health.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
