Brief Answer:
Recurrent furuncle
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query.
It suggests that you may be suffering from the recurrent furuncle in the external audiotory canal.
Two most important cause of this disease -
1. Frequent cleaning of the external auditory canal by the ear bud or anything such as key etc.
2. Diabetes.
You can damage the skin in the ear canal if you poke your ear with any objects such as a cotton wool bud. This slightly damaged skin can quickly become inflamed and infected and may be responsible for furuncle.
In this case, I personally advised to you-
Painkillers such as paracetamol
A cloth soaked in hot water and then held against the ear may relieve the pain or hot fomentation about seven times a day or as much as possible.
Antibiotics - For you I preferred combination of amoxicillin and clavulinic acid.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic ear drop put in the ear.
If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query.
Wish you good health.
