Evaluation: A virtual appointment is available on Healthtap, and a course of antibiotic ear drops may be indicated to treat an outer ear infection. Avoid water in the ear canal and please follow up with your PCP. Watch for drainage from the ear, swelling of the face and fever.

Ear wax stuck in ear? I took a shower last night and i still have some sort of water/wax buildup impairing my hearing in my left ear. I tried dropping rubbing alcohol in it and using an expired tube of debrox, but no luck, yet also no physical pain.
