I have been using earphones for long hours, and now I feel mild pain and discomfort in my left ear, along with sensitivity to loud sounds. An ENT specialist prescribed Cognix Plus for 10 days. Is this medication safe, and what precautions should I take?

Using earphones for long hours can irritate the ear and lead to mild inflammation or sensitivity, sometimes contributing to symptoms like pain and sound intolerance. Your doctor may prescribe supportive medicines like Cognix Plus to help with recovery; when taken as advised for a short duration, it is generally safe. However, the most important part of treatment is protecting your ears; avoid or limit earphone use for now, keep volume low (below 60%), take regular breaks, and avoid exposure to loud noise. Also, keep your ears clean and dry, and do not insert objects into the ear. If symptoms do not improve, worsen, or you develop hearing loss, ringing (Tinnitus), or discharge, you should follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation.
