How To Treat Ear Soreness And Clogging?
Recently I accidentally jammed a Q-tip in my ear pretty deep. I went to the er and she said I cut the ear canal and there was some dry blood. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops to prevent any possible infection but now it feels like my ear is clogged and there is occasional soreness. I m sure this is normal but I m concerned , should I get another opinion

Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
As per your clinical history it appears that you are having trauma to ear canal .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
Continue antibiotic ear drop &
Keep ear dry , don’t allow water go inside while bath.
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
