Doctor can recheck: Unless a person has an ear camera to take pictures or videos, she cannot see inside her ear. Usually, ear symptoms that are not improving, or that persist more than 2-3 days after seeing the doctor and using medication, should be discussed with the doctor again. The doctor generally needs to reexamine the patient's head, neck, ears, nose, and throat to see why symptoms are recurring.

If your inner ear itches and then hurts; what causes it and what should you do about it? It was itchy last year and the dr. Said to put cortisone cream on it and the itching went away, but not for long. Repeated the procedure. Helped, but not for long.
