Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain Due To Swimmer S Ear
My son was diagnosed with swimmers ear at the hospital this morning and they put a wick in his ear and prescribed some antibiotic ear drops. The wick fell out and I don t have it anymore, and he is complaining about it hurting him really bad. What should I do

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Wick is usually dipped in the lignocaine solution for local painting relief.
It is best symptomatic treatment for ear pain.
So better to consult ENT doctor again and put wick in ear for pain relief. Or you can give him oral painkiller like ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
