Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having
Otitis media or Otitis externa (Ear infections) .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
consult ENT specialist for examination & ear cleaning under microscope with suction .
You need to use ear drop Ciplox - D 3 drops thrice daily & antihistaminic Tab Claritin (Loratadine 10mg) at night for relief .

You may need a prescription for medications.

You will get relief . Keep ear dry , don't allow water go inside while bath .Stop using ear bud , it will push infected debris deep inside .

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards.
