Your child's ear pain and a red eye with discharge may be caused by a bacterial infection affecting both the ear and the eye. This can happen when the same germs spread through the nose and throat to the middle ear and the eye. Your child should be examined by a doctor, as they may need antibiotic treatment. In the meantime, gently clean the eye discharge with clean cotton soaked in warm water, and encourage your child not to rub the affected eye. Give paracetamol or ibuprofen in the correct dose for pain or fever, if needed. Keep your child well hydrated and ensure they get enough rest. Seek urgent medical care if your child develops severe swelling around the eye, difficulty seeing, a high fever, unusual drowsiness, vomiting, or if the ear pain becomes severe. Avoid using any eye drops or antibiotics without medical advice.

Ear tingling can be caused by irritation or wax, and if Otogesic is not helping, using another drop without knowing the cause may not fix it. It is safer to have your ear checked by a doctor to determine whether it is due to wax, an infection, or nerve irritation, and then receive the proper treatment. Avoid putting random drops in the ear until then, and keep the ear dry and clean for now.

A feeling of a vacuum in your ears after sneezing or yawning is usually due to Eustachian tube pressure, not earwax. Soliwax or Otogesic won't help. Try swallowing, chewing, or gentle pressure-release techniques, and consult an ENT if the sensation is persistent, painful, or affects your hearing.
