I'm having this constant pain in my ear canal after I scratched it and a doctor used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. My mom suggested using warm ghee and turmeric, but it's still hurting a lot. I'm really worried because seeing a doctor nearby is super pricey. What else can I do to help with the pain?

Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.
