I suffered a small rupture to my ear drum a couple of years ago which I had then consulted for and it got healed. Recently I have been feeling an uneasiness and itchiness in the same ear. What do I do?

Itching could be due to wax or any dry skin.. It is easier to tell if it is examined directly. Please visit a nearby ent specialist for examination. Also ensure that your membrane is intact and no discharge is there in the ears.
