Otocomb: Otocomb ear drops are quite effective for the treatment of otitis externa(inflammation/infection of the ear canal). Apparently you don't have this problem or build-up of earwax. If you haven't been examined by an Otolaryngologist, see one. If you have already been seen by one, get a second opinion by a neurootolaryngologist at the department of otolayngology at a university hospital near you.
