Suggest Treatment For Infection In The Ear

You will need antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hello
From your complaints it looks like you are having an ear infection and will need antibiotics for it.
The pain may be due to the infection or you may have used ear buds to clean the ear which may have caused injury to the ear. Please do not use ear buds. You can take tablet paracetamol 500mg three times a day for the pain.
The hearing loss may be due to a swelling in the ear or there may be a hole in the ear drums. This needs to be evaluated further and I would suggest that you meet your ent doctor
For the infection normally I start my patients on antibiotics like ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day and antibiotic ear drops like ofloxacin. Please meet your doctor for the prescription.
Please keep the ear dry and do not let any water entering it as it will increase the infection.
Take care
