How I wish it were so simple! Unfortunately, it isn't so! You will need to bring him across for a proper ENT evaluation to ascertain why his ear is aching and then alone can I decide how to help him out.
Next Steps
Use Practo to fix up an appointment for your father to meet me at my clinic Y S Desai Specialty Healthcare and then I will do the needful.
