Aching ears
My mother has been struggling with her ears for years now and doctors tell her she has Ear Eczema. this is a big problem cause she can no longer take proper showers due to her ears that hurt afterwards, and she uses eardrops everyday but sometimes they don't work. she unfortunately already lost her hearing in one ear after using cotton buds. and now we are in need of saving the other ear before she fully looses her hearing. symptoms are extreme ache in the ear, lots of ear wax, itchiness.
