Why Am I Having Fuzzy Numb Feeling In My Ear?

Hi! About two nights ago I woke up at around 3 AM with a severe ear ache. Used to have ear infections all the time when I was very little, I am now twenty one. By 5:30 AM the same day I took some CVS Severe Pain Medication and some Auro Ear Ache drops and the pain went away. The pain is not there anymore, but it has a fuzzy almost numb feeling. What is going on?

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
You had ear ache and you put drops now its numb feeling , it could be wax inside the ear and because of it you have blocked sensation .
The numb feeling could be because of the anaesthetic agent present inside the ear drops.
You need to consult an ENT specialist and get examined . If there is wax then you have to get it removed.
In doubt do reply.
