What Causes Tinnitus And Ear Pain After Using Rite Aid Ear Drops?

I woke up this morning and it seemed my ear was plugged. I used a rite aid brand ear wax drop and flushed out my ear with warm water. It didn t do much. I repeated the process and it seemed to clear my ear but now I m experiencing ringing and slightly pain in my ear. Is that normal?

I warmly Welcome you!

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
Only ENT SPECIALISTS are trained to flush the ear. Why? Ear drum can get damaged by a thrush of direct pressure on it. Doctor does the same with specially made instruments. And under direct vision with ottoscope.

I recommend you to visit ENT SPECIALIST for checking the integrity of ear drum.

If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.
