Ear problem

2018-02-02 13:52:38
Hello. I am having pain in my left ear again. Last month same happened so I visited a GP who gave me some drops and antibiotic for 5-6 days and I got well. He said it’s because of ear wax. In October 2017 same thing happened. The concern is will it happen every month. How to prevent this. How can this problem be cured once and for all. As I live in Singapore and the medical here is quite expensive. Pls help

You seem to be suffering from impacted wax inside your ear canal. You need to apply wax softeners and then consult your doctor for removal of wax. Otherwise it will get hardened again
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
