I have had a ear infection if they itch does that mean they are healing ? i have been out in antibiotics
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: After the bacteria have cleared (with antibiotic drops) the skin is raw and vulnerable. Avoid water in the ears for 2 weeks to allow natural oils to return. Avoid qtips!
