Yes ear drops is totally fine. Amoxiclav antibiotic can be used if you have no known allergic reactions to drugs. Seems like acute otitis media or Otitis externa.
Next Steps
Please keep your ear dry. Do keep a cotton wool inside while taking head bath, however not too inside. avoid cleaning your ear. Antibiotic ear drops will definitely help. 3-5 drops in the affected ear, with correct positioning will help.
Health Tips
Consult for further requirements. Kindly do not self medicate.
