A member asked:

No: For ear infection with ruptured ear drum ,you need both -amoxicillin as wells ofloxacin as complete treatment ..Ofloxacin acts locally to clear infection .It does not clog the rears but clears the secretion in the ear .

Ruptured eardrum: Certainly your ear may feel clogged due to residual fluid still in the canal (either the effusion that caused the rupture or from the ear drops themselves.).
