Ear hasn’t popped from infection
Hello, I have had an ear infection for the past 11 days. I finished my antibiotics yesterday but my ear still hasn’t popped and I’m not able to hear properly. What should I do?

Hello. As long as pain has subsided, there is nothing to worry about.  It might take another week or two for the blocked sensation to go away.
Health Tips
Please do not meddle with your ear. Do not try to clean it too deep. If pain reappears,  kindly consult.
