Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Do I have a ear infection? My right ear has been throbbing with some occasional sharp pain today. During the last three days I have experienced hard of hearing. I have tried using drops of melaleuca oil down the ear canal plus Aleve which gives me temporary relief. My hearing is affected and my ears are ringing right now. My body feels normal . Should I see a doctor?
