Could Pain In Ears With Ear Wax Coming Out Be An Infection?

Hi my Daughter keeps complaining of pain in here ear.She started about 2 weeks ago and said it hurts about 2- 3 times a day.I put an equal part solution of white vinegar and alcohol mixed and put 2-3 drops in her ear.Then she turned over and let it drain out.A few hours later a bunch of wax came to her outer ear hole and was kinda dried.I did this for 2 days.She said it felt better.Well then 4 days later she stared saying her ear was sticky and hurting again...well she had ear wax comimg out again.Does this sound like an infection.I am debating to take her to the doctor.

Hi,

Looking at the information given by you. Your daughter might be suffering from impacted wax inside the ear along with otitis external (inflammation of outer ear).

Stop cleaning the ear by self.

Use wax solvent ear drops like Soliwax.

Use Anti-inflammatory with Analgesic like Ibuprofen.

If no relief in around 2 days, then it would be advisable to personally consult an ENT specialist doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Riddhi Shah, ENT Specialist
