Suggest Treatment For Painful Ear Post Insect Bite
Hi, its 3:15 am in india and my daughter aged 13 years suddenly some insect/ant biting inside her right ear. She started crying. We had an eye/ear drop named oflaxacine and betamethasone sodium phosphate. After pouring 3 drops the biting gone but she is feeling pain. What shall I do as a next step as all the ent hospitals are closed at this time.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having insect or ant might have gone inside and biting producing pain, irritation and some allergic reaction giving this problem.
continue putting ear drops.
Give her antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl.
Give her some analgesic as well.
Nothing to worry about insect if inside, might have died and will come out.
Ok and take care.

Good thought with the ear drops a specially since the bite sensation gone. Give her oral pain killer like tab brufen or paracetamol tab and visit a ent doctor in the morning. Regards
