Start using ear drops like Otek AC or Otocin O 2 drops 3 times a day, an anti-allergic like Cetrizine tablet at night and if you are not hypertensive, a decongestant like Otrivin nose drops 2 drops 3 times. Otherwise, steam inhalation is safe! You can take an analgesic like Combiflam, if the pain is severe!
Next Steps
Consultant an ENT if the symptoms or cough persist!
Health Tips
Never put anything in the ear without consulting an ENT!
