Hi, I had a very bad ear ache last night. I put a few drops of warm mustard oil and it somehow reduced the pain. Today morning there was a little pus and blood too coming out of my ear. I still have a little pain and feel blockage. It s on my left ear. I got this candibiotic ear drop, can I use it?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
The most common causes of pain and blockage in ears are:
1.Ear Wax
2.Blocked nose by Cold & Sinus infection
3.Accumulation of water within the ear
4.Changes in atmospheric pressure while travelling in an airplane
5.Blockage in the Eustachian tubes

Following remedies can be tried:-
1. Valsalva Maneuver:-Take a deep breath and pinch your nose. Now, try to exhale like you are trying to breathe out. This will unclog your ears. This is the easiest and a good blocked ear treatment, Don’t blow too hard; otherwise, it may cause damage to the ear drum.
2. Salt Water Gargle-Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days
3.. Wax Softening Solution or wax dissolving solutions- don't use them if you have infection
4.Nasal Spray-If the reason of is cold & sinus blockage, you can go for nasal spray

Visit a ENT specialist, if problem persist
Hoping your query is solved
Get well soon.
