Ear itchiness

2024-03-03 06:31:26
Respected sir/ ma'am, I am suffering from ear itchiness, left ear is more problematic. I have tried using earbuds to clear the outer of the ear, not inside. Please note that I have allergy issues, but even after taking antihistamines itchiness continuous. Sometimes becoming sever and then resolving in its own. Kindly suggest what could be done. Thankyou

Avoid using earbuds. Check for dandruff in your hair. Avoid putting oil or water in the ear and keep taking anti histamine. If it doesn't resolve, get a physical examination done.
