What Should I Do For Clogged Ear With Clear Liquid Discharge?
Hi, Two days ago I used a q-tip in my ear and now my ear is in severe pain. I can t eat without feeling out and it s to the point where I can t sleep now. It s clogged right now and it seems to be leaking of clear fluid. Should I just go to the emergency room?

HI,
The symptoms of pain, discharge & clogging indicate ear infection. & You need to start specific treatment after local examination/investigations as per need by an ENT specialist.
Do not wash,put stick to clean yourself. put a cotton plug lightly in ear after external cleaning & go to doctor.
At the most you can have NSAID pill for pain relief after food.
Thanks
