I am suffering from severe ear wax buildup. I used Dewax ear drops, which initially worked, but the wax has accumulated again. Please help.

For recurring earwax, avoid cotton swabs and continue using ear drops as directed to soften the wax. If it keeps building up, an ENT doctor can safely remove it using suction or irrigation, which is the most effective long-term solution.

My left ear is not working well. What could be the reason?

Left ear problems can be due to earwax buildup, ear infection, fluid in the ear, nerve or hearing issues. An ENT specialist should evaluate persistent hearing loss to identify the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I am experiencing pain near my ear while drinking water. what should I do?

Pain near the ear while swallowing may be due to an ear infection, a throat infection, or issues with the jaw or teeth. You should consult a doctor or an ENT specialist to identify the cause and receive proper treatment. Applying a warm compress may help ease discomfort until then.

I feel like my ear is blocked. My doctor has prescribed Dewax ear drops. How should I use them, and how long will it take for the blockage to clear?

Use the Dewax ear drops as advised by your doctor, usually by putting the prescribed number of drops into the affected ear while lying on your side, and staying in that position for about 10 minutes so the drops can soften the wax. The blockage usually clears within a few days as the wax softens and comes out naturally. If the ear remains blocked after a week or you develop pain, please see your doctor again.

I have ear pain along with shoulder pain. I have consulted doctors regarding my migraine, but I am not getting any relief.

Ear pain with shoulder pain could be related to nerve, muscle, or joint issues, not just migraine. You should consult an ENT or neurologist for a detailed evaluation, and a physiotherapist may help if muscles are involved. Proper diagnosis is key to effective treatment.

I have had a hole in my ear for a long time, and for the past few days, I have been having severe pain with white discharge coming out. Could this be an infection?

Yes, a hole in the ear present for a long time with recent severe pain and white discharge is very likely due to an infection in the middle ear. When there is a hole, germs can easily enter and cause pain, discharge, and sometimes hearing problems. Keep the ear dry and avoid putting anything inside it. This condition needs proper treatment. Consult your doctor as soon as possible to prevent further damage and control the infection.
