I have had a pus infection in my left ear for the past two days. What medicine or ear drops should I use to treat it?

Asked by Female, 28 · 8 hours ago

A pus discharge indicates an ear infection, which could be in the outer ear canal or behind the eardrum. It is crucial not to put any self-prescribed drops in your ear until a doctor examines it, as using certain drops with a ruptured eardrum can cause permanent hearing damage. Please consult an ENT specialist immediately. They will safely examine your ear and likely prescribe specific antibiotic ear drops (like ciprofloxacin) or oral antibiotics. For now, keep your ear completely dry, avoid inserting cotton swabs, and you may take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to manage any pain.
