ear infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to healthcaremagic,

You are suffering from middle ear infection.

You will need antibiotic ear drops. You will also need decongestant nose drops like otrivin , these drops help to ventilate the ear better and hence hasten recovery. Please see a doctor immediately for the prescription.

Keep your ears absolutely dry and do not let even a drop of water enter your ear during shower. For this you will have to keep a ball of cotton smeared with petroleum jelly in your ear while showering.

Do not try to clean your ears with buds , you will introduce infection.

remember to drink plenty of fluids and avoid cold foods and air conditioning.

Regards,
Dr Rajkishori Godhi MS ENT
