I have been feeling uneasy and have had severe ear pain since this morning. What drops can I use for relief? Please respond quickly.

I have had ear pain for the past 3 days along with some hearing problems, and I think it might be due to earwax. Can wax cause this pain, and what should I do?

Earwax can sometimes cause hearing problems and a blocked feeling, but pain for three days may also suggest infection or irritation, not just wax. Avoid putting anything inside the ear, as it can worsen the problem. You can keep the ear dry and avoid self-cleaning. If pain and hearing changes are present, consult your doctor so the ear can be checked and appropriate treatment can be provided.

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.
