Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain and clogged ears despite taking Ciprofloxacin which could be due to sinusitis, ear wax accumulation, eustachian tube dysfunction, ear infection and certain other systemic pathology.Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. You should take Coamoxiclav. Maintain proper oral hygiene. You should put Fluticasone ear drops on regular basis. Nasal decongestant sprays would be effective for you. You should take plenty of liquids. You should take steam inhalation. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for surgical reconstruction of opening for relieve of pressure. You should go for para nasal sinus X ray. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid pricking ear with any sharp objects.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
