A member asked:
I had my ear syringed today due to a wax build up, now i have sharp stabbing pain in the ear. is this a normal side effect or could there be any damage to the ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check it: Unlikely to be damage to ear drum or external auditory canal but prudent to use otoscope and look directly just to be sure
