What medicines or ear drops can I use to treat right ear pain that worsened after using cotton swabs and is accompanied by numbness on the right side of my face and teeth, since Combiflam only provided temporary relief?
Using cotton swabs can sometimes push wax deeper or injure the ear canal. Because you are experiencing numbness in your face and teeth alongside the pain, it is very important that you see a doctor or an ear, nose, and throat specialist right away. Please avoid putting any ear drops or objects into your ear, as we need to ensure your eardrum is safe. While Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) offers temporary relief, a proper physical exam is essential to find the cause of the numbness and prescribe the correct treatment.
