I'm really concerned about my mom, who's 58 and diabetic. She's been taking vertin16 daily for the past year to help with her tinnitus. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the Covid vaccine while she's on this medication?

I'm experiencing this ear pain in my right ear, specifically around the tragus area, and it only hurts when I touch it or sleep on that side. The doctor recommended Cetraxal online because of the COVID situation and mentioned it might be an ear infection. I've been using the medicine for a day, but there's no relief yet. I've had earwax issues a couple of times before, many years back. Could this be due to earwax again, or is it really an infection?
