Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi there, i've been suffering from an itch and soreness inside my ear canal for some weeks now. i thought at first it may be a wax build up but they are clean when i remove a cotton bud. sometimes i have mild earache too, could you tell me if this is an infection?
HI I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that because of the cold and allergic condition such symptoms may be possible and in my opinion this can be treated with antihistamine medicine, and ear can be clean from the medicated ear bud, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
