Hi,
I understand your concern.
You can take Tympagesic drops instead of Otogesic drops...both have same contents
Do not put water in ear to wash it, to not try to clean with a stick or pin.On the counter Anti inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen can be taken if pain is ++, your doctor would suggest oral antibiotic if needful Be in touch with doctor.
Thanks
