Hello i was diagnosed with an outer ear infection on friday and been on ear drops since. but not getting any better they put a ear wick in to help

Ear wick: An ear wick would help distribute the medication better. If that doesn't help, have it rechecked. All the best.

Possible: An ear wick can help if the canal is very swollen and preventing the drops from entering the canal.

Call doc: Sometimes the drops may cause a local reaction too. It is best to call your doc today and find out what to do next.
