Is it ok to wear ear plugs when you have ear pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't advise them if you have a middle ear infection( ear drum) which is treated by oral antibiotics as they may create pressure. If it's an infection of the ear canal, antibacterial,antifungal ear drops are prescribed. Soft ear plugs or cotton could be used to keep ear drops in place.
