Thanks...why would the pain be worse do you think? I will call my dr. in the morning.
Hi,
Welcome again,
In case of otitis media the pain can become worse.
In case of external otitis due to bacterial infection, Ciprodex ear drops should give relief.
If external otitis is due to fungal infection, ciprodex ear drops will not give any relief.
Mycobiotic ear drops may give relief in external otitis due to both bacterial and fungal infection.
Some times it is only impacted wax, which swells up due to water, which enters in the ear during swimming.
