I have increased ear pain after using benzocaine ear drops? what to do?

Stop the drops: Some people can develop an allergic reaction to these ear drops and if not you risk covering up the real cause of your ear problem.Have a primary care provider examine your ear, preferably drop free for at least a day.

See a doctor: If you are experiencing increased pain with "numbing drops" the ear needs examination.
