Are Blocked Ears After Using Otocomb Otic Ear Drops For Irritated Ears Normal?
I am using otocomb otic ear drops for one day and on the third application, they blocked my left ear. I thought it might unblock during the night so I went to sleep, but now have woken to find its still there. What do I do? Is it normal? It s really annoying me - is there a way to unblock it? I was prescribed this due to irritation in my ears - there was no infection but there was a chance of it leading into one.

hello
Dont worry, as this is normal and may be due to the increased swelling caused by the irritation or removal of wax and debris by the drops!
please continue the drops for another 2 days and meet your ent doctor if you still dont feel any improvement.
Take care
