Left ear pain due to scratching by nail

2021-07-14 13:06:56
My left ear was itching. It led to scratching the ear with nail. It's paining since yesterday. I had the same problem 2 years ago. Doctor prescribed me some medicines including 'BIOTIC-O EAR DROP'. Currently, this eardrop is not available. At my nearest pharmacy 'OTEK-AC NEO' was available. Can I use this eardrop instead? I have attached photos of both the ear drops for reference.
