I've just seen an ENT specialist who said everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about, but I can't help feeling anxious. Should I be concerned about anything, or is it really nothing to worry about?

I'm having some pain above my jaw and I'm worried it might be because of an ear infection. How many Cipla ear drops should I use to help with wax removal?

Use 23 drops in the affected ear for wax removal, but only if there are no signs of infection (pain, fever, drainage). Avoid self-treating ear infections with drops without professional advice.
