Since there is an open wound inside her ear, please avoid using any over-the-counter ear drops or inserting cotton swabs immediately. If the eardrum is damaged, drops can cause severe pain or infection. Keep the ear completely dry by placing a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly in the outer ear during showers. For pain, she can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. You must consult a doctor or an ENT specialist. They need to examine the ear with an otoscope to safely diagnose the clog and prescribe the correct prescription-grade antibacterial drops or ointment.

My right ear has been hurting since last night. I'm not sure why. Please give advice. I took two drops of Clearwax Ear Drops.

If your right ear started hurting suddenly and you used Clearwax Ear Drops, the pain may be due to impacted wax, irritation, or even a small injury or infection, and sometimes these drops can cause discomfort if the ear canal is already sensitive or blocked, so avoid putting more drops or inserting anything into the ear. It is important to consult a doctor (ENT specialist) to check for infection or blockage and get proper treatment.

My ear became plugged while I was having a bath two days ago. I attempted to remove that obstruction that evening by using clearwax ear drops. I've had a lot of success cleaning my ears with cotton sticks. How should I proceed? Is it possible to get over that block?

It sounds like water may have entered your ear during the bath and, along with ear wax, caused a blockage; using ear drops like Clearwax Ear Drops can help soften wax, but avoid using cotton sticks as they often push wax deeper and worsen the blockage. If the blockage, pain, reduced hearing, or ringing continues for more than 3?5 days, it?s best to visit an ENT doctor for safe ear cleaning.

My left ear is paining. What needs to be done? Can I use ClearWax ear drops?

If your left ear is hurting, it is essential to consult a doctor or an ENT specialist for proper evaluation. Ear pain can have various causes, such as infection, wax buildup, or other underlying conditions. Using ear drops like Clearwax without a medical assessment is not recommended, as some ingredients may be unsafe, especially if the eardrum is perforated. A healthcare professional can determine the cause and advise the most appropriate and safe treatment for your ear pain.

ve had ear fungus for the past two months. I've tried ear wax three times, but it hasn't helped.

A fungal ear infection (Otomycosis) lasting two months will not improve with wax drops like Clearwax, as they do not treat fungus and may worsen moisture. The ear usually needs proper cleaning by a doctor and antifungal ear drops such as Clotrimazole or similar. Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting anything inside. Please consult an ENT specialist for correct treatment, as persistent infection needs examination.

My right ear has been whistling and fading for the past eight days or so. I used clearwax drops?yesterday, and as a result, the ear feels constricted and continues to ring or whistle. Please advise.

If your ear has been whistling (ringing) and hearing is fading for several days, and after using Clearwax Ear Drops it now feels blocked, it likely means the wax has swollen and is temporarily worsening the blockage, which can also cause ringing (tinnitus), so do not put any more drops or insert anything into the ear, keep the ear dry. See an ENT doctor as soon as possible so they can safely remove the wax and check for infection or other causes,

My right ear has been feeling blocked for about a month and does not clear, while my left ear sometimes feels blocked but clears when I gently massage it. Is it normal for earwax to cause this, or could there be another problem?

Persistent blockage in one ear for a month is not usually normal and may indicate impacted earwax, fluid behind the eardrum, an infection, or another underlying issue. A temporary blockage that clears with gentle massage is often due to wax or mild fluid. You should see a doctor or ENT specialist to examine your ears, determine the cause, and safely remove any earwax or treat other problems. Avoid inserting objects into your ears, as this may worsen the blockage.
