Brief Answer: Otitis externa Detailed Answer: Hi Mam, I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the otitis externa. For this you may instilled Neosporin H ear drop 2 drops three times a day, Tablet levocetrizine 5 mg in night after consulting your doctor. Avoid putting ear bud, water and oil in the ear. For your kind information: Otitis externa is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. The ear canal may appear eczema-like, with scaly shedding of skin. Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. Avoid swimming in polluted water. Use of earplug when swimming and shampooing hair may help prevent external otitis. If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query.
