    Its probably hard wax, get some olive oil for the ears and warm up to body temp put the oil bottle in hot water, then use a dropper the oil should have warmed up.. put 1-2 drops in the ear. Hold head sideways to administer the oil.. then pop in some cotton wool to stop oil trickling out. Do this for seven days consecutively, this will loosen any hard wax.

    Hi kalpana42304,

    my name is Kim & I am a registered nurse. I just had an ear operation at the eye & ear hospital in Melbourne, Victoria Australia 12 days ago now, I had diseased bone in my left ear drum caused by non stop infections, which antibiotics didn't work to fix it, so I had a mastoidectomy/maryingoplasty/tympanoplasty, quite a major operation, which made me sooo deaf in that ear, but surgeon tells me I should get my hearing back 90% within about 8 weeks, so looking forward to hearing properly.

    you say your sister says there's something in her ear which is driving her nuts???

    has she been to an ear, nose & throat specialist??? She would need a referral from her local doctor first. If anything is in her ear, they the ENT specialist will find it.

    does she have any discharge or weeping coming from that ear??? If so then she could have a slight perforated eardrum, which is a slight tear in her eardrum, as you said she has pain in that ear??? She needs to get a referral from her local doctor which will cover her to see any ENT doctor, don't leave it too long as it could get badly infected....

    good luck, nothing worse than ear pain 😁😁😁

    cheers kim x
