Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is either closed or it is infected.

In my advice you should get it checked with nearby doctors. First important step is to diagnose whether it is closed or infected.

For the infected ear you need to take the antibiotics. Oral cefixime 200 mg TDS for three days plus daily cleaning and dressing with dettol and polysporin ointment can clear the infection.

For the closed whole, you need to dig it again. You can go to nearby doctor it will pierce it once again.

Please take good care while piercing otherwise it will get infected again.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
