I have been experiencing regular, minor itching in both of my ears. What ear drops would you recommend to treat this?
For mild, regular itching in both ears, the most common causes are dry skin or mild inflammation. I recommend starting with a few drops of olive oil or mineral oil to moisturize the ear canal if it is just dry. If there is mild inflammation, over-the-counter hydrocortisone (1%) ear drops can help relieve the itch. However, please do not insert cotton swabs or sharp objects, as this worsens itching. Most importantly, consult a doctor to examine your ears before using any drops, to ensure your eardrums are intact and there is no underlying infection. This is a very common, easily treatable issue, so there is no need to worry.
