A member asked:

What to do if i have an ear infection. is it normal for my ear to be super itchy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on type: It depends on what type of ear infection. If it is swimmers ear there may be a fungus causing itching. If you are taking antibiotics maybe you have an allergic reaction to them and need to see the doctor right away. There could also be ear wax causing itching.
