Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Dr I am Eric, My ear us blocked and I can t hear anything. I ve tried using Dextracine for three days now but am not getting major changes. At first, the ear was trying to unblock but then I noticed something when I was using cotton to prevent the ear drops from coming out. The ear got worst. What do you think could be the problem Dr?

Hi,
Ear block can be due to a simple thing like ear wax, sinus infection with eustachian tube block. You can take soliwaxear drops/decongestant pills over the counter or inhale water vapour to get some relief. With nasal saline drops to moisten the passage. If no relief. Consult an ENT doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
