• Infection of the ear either bacterial, fungal, viral,
• Boils inside or outside the ear,
• Any foreign body in the ear cavity e.g. beads,seeds,insects etc, can also be the cause.

The proper diagnosis and the real cause of the pain is very important. The dosage and potency has to be decided by the physician.

Do not let water enter your ear during ear pain, if  it  happens then clean and dry your ear properly. Do  not  blow  your nose too strongly during earache  as  it  may increase the pain.
