Hello. : Hello. Campho phenique can help with pain in an external ear canal. However if you have a middle or inner ear infection, I am not sure that it would help with those sources of pain. Also, you must have been diagnosed with an ear infection, and campho phenique will not cure the infection. It also won't help hearing loss.

Confusing statement: Amoxicillin is an old antibiotic and generally very cheep.You should look into a discount card you can find most places.It would be your best chance to cure a middle ear infection of the items listed. Putting camphophonique in your canal may give you something to do, but it wouldn't cure a middle ear infection. You may self heal in 6-8 weeks like they did before antibiotics.
