Hello Nicky you have nothing to worry about I’ve never had a ear infection personally but I know it’s common and very fixable the cotton wool is to just stop the drops an pus coming out the drops should help with the pus and will dry up I should imagine whilst the antibiotics are doing the work an before ya know it it’ll all be fixed hope this helped! Your gonna be okay☺️👍🏼

Yeah trust me it’s okay to worry sometimes but In this case your fine that’s what the drops are for I think just calm down and let the medicine do it’s work an you’ll be better in no time!☺️

Hi nicky, you're going to be okay if you follow your doctor's orders.

Do not dig around in your ear for any reason. Take the full dose prescribed

of the antibiotics as well as using the ear drops. About half way through

the antibiotics, you should start feeling better. Give it time. Wish you well :) xx

I won’t dig around at all only to take my cotton ball out and replace with a new one ! I might just use it all cause I don’t wanna risk anything! 😖 and my anxiety makes me feel and think I won’t get better 😔 like i feel like the pus is gonna stay stuck in my ear and not leave 😖 but thank you hopefully all goes well 🙏🏾

Oh definitely you must use all of the antibiotics even when you start

feeling better half way through. The worst thing you could do is stop.

The medication will take care of the pus in the ear. It's not going to stay stuck

and you will heal from this. You will get better just give it time. :) xx

Trying to relax the best you can nicky will help your body's immune system

along with the medication to fight the infection. Getting some sleep and

rest is important as well. Goodnight dear one. Talk tomorrow. :) xx
