Ear canal and drum swollen
So i inserted an ear bad far too much and it resulted into an infection inside my ear canal..my canal was a bit swollen so the doctor gave me antibiotics after that my ear wax was cleaned (dewax was given) just yesterday ...the canal swelling is gone but he said that the drum is still a bit red(swollen). I was wondering in how much time the swelling would be gone and after how many days i can use earphones?
