What Causes Pain In The Ears After Wax Removal?
I had ear wax removed 5 days ago. Doctor could not get all of it,so i am now using over the counter ear wax medication and will return to get rid of remaining wax. It was a little painful afterwards but now 5 days later it hurts, off and on. Is this something that should concern me or not. thank you

Hello,
Though after removing wax from ear usually leads to pain. And it is also on or off in nature. I have seen many patients feeling like this. The main reason for pain after removing wax is due to little bit inflammation in your ear. You can take anti-inflammatory drug like tablet Paracetamol as required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
