Hello. Recurring ear pain and watery discharge often point to an ear infection, like swimmer's ear or a middle ear issue. It is crucial to have a doctor examine your ear before using any drops, as some medications can cause damage if your eardrum has a small tear. If your eardrum is intact, a doctor may prescribe generic antibiotic drops such as ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin, sometimes paired with a mild steroid to ease swelling. For immediate pain relief, you can take over-the-counter ibuprofen or paracetamol. Please keep your ear dry and see a healthcare provider soon for a safe, proper evaluation.
