Please donot use an ear drop, if there is too much itching take one tablet levocetrizine 5mg at night. And visit an ent surgeon for proper examination. Ear itching may be due to allergy, fungal infection, wax, nose infections, etc. All have different treatments, so an otoscopic examination is required to determine the cause
