Hello,

I can understand your concern. It is possible that you have infection in the right ear which is mild so not causing you any severe symptoms or pain. The pain might not have any relation with the fall.

I suggest that you should do a course of antibiotics. Taking Cefixime 200 mg (Topcef) twice a day for 5 days can help you in relieving the pain.

However, if the pain is not subsided and you feel increase in the frequency and intensity, you should consult a physician or an ENT specialist.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
