Suggest Treatment For Infected Ear
I have an infected ear and I m using Covancaine ear drops I have been using them for 3 days now. I feel like they are making me worse. My infection was caused by altitudes whilst travelling. Then they got ingestion. They full of air and the doctor said they are infected.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
High altitude ear infection can be secondary to nose or sinus anatomical abnormalities like deviated septum or allergy.
Covancaine ear drops do work for ear canal and ear drum infection, in my opinion, you need oral antibiotic and pain killer for strong infection.
Kindly visit an ent surgeon for ent examination(sinusitis) and oral antibiotic dosage.
All the best.
