Dear Patient,

The pain you experienced is due to a little amount of water being blocked behind the ear wax. Once the wax comes loose, the water is also released and so is the wax and the pain stops. Please dont poke cottonbud in nor hair dryer.
Just see an ENT, they will clean the ear wax in their OPD and you will feel much better.

You can take 2 tablets of Panadol twice a day if the pain is a lot.
If you experience fever, any blood or discharge from the ear, pain is unbearable for hrs, etc then see an ENT immediately or go to ER( just a precautionary note- it is unlikely this will happen)
