Suggest Medication For Ear Infection Due To Blockage From Ear Wax

Today I went to my family doctor to get a physical and tb test for a new job. during that appointment, my doctor looked into my ears, eyes, mouth, etc. while looking into my ears she said they were impacted with a lot of wax and that she couldn t even see my eardrums. so she had the nurse irrigate them. (flush warm water and peroxide into them). this. hurt. like. hell. which I was not expecting. I jumped from the pain and she said.. oh I ll be write back. that s when I saw the blood. the doctor came back in after talking to an ENT (ear nose and throat specialist) said I have an appointment in 2 weeks with him and prescribed me ear drops until then because they think my ear is infected? I ve had 0 symptoms of middle of canal ear infections. so basically I went to the doctor with nothing wrong, and left panicked, bleeding, and in pain. has anything like this happened to you or anyone you know? I m freaking out. and by the way- the wax is STILL IN THERE.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It's crude, doing wax removal without liquidifiction. Of course it will bleed and be painful while removing hard wax from soft ear canal. Any way put soliwax ear drops 5 drops/ 5 times/ 1 week.

Do visit an ENT surgeon after 7 days, he will remove it by just syringing (painless).

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

Take care.

Dr. Abubakar Siddiqh
