Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchiness and irritation in the ear which is because of ear infection which sometimes remain persistent, it could be due to wax buildup and recurrent otitis media. Need not to worry.You can use ciplox or gatiflox ear drops for local application. You should take syrup gelusil-plus every 4-6 hours for better relief of your symptoms. Avoid touching or pricking it with sharp object. You should visit ENT specialist and go for otoscopic examination and start treatment after proper prescription. Keep ears dry and clean. You should go for culture and sensitivity test of ear discharge to know about specific bacteria. Start with antibiotic course of that particular bacteria.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
