Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query pulsating and throbbing pain in the ear which can be cause by many factors like ear infection, tympanic membrane rupture, stress , wisdom tooth, temporomandibular joint problem , cervical spondolysis and increase blood pressure. I would suggest you to keep putting antibiotic ear drops. You should take antibiotics along with anti inflammtory medicines like ibuprofen and diclofenac. Take steam inhalation. Avoid excessive hard substance eating. consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like audiometery , CT scan ,MRI , low and high pitched ringing to rule out conditions like hearing loss , exposure to loud noises , earwax build-up , middle ear infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
