i have a blocked ear on my right ear and have been using sodium bicarbonate drops for 2 weeks. two days ago, both ears were syringed and the next day i woke up in a lot of pain in my left ear (this ear did not have sodium bicarbonate drops in it prior to syringing) and could not hear in both ears. i visited a nurse who gave me an antibiotic spray and said that the ear syringing did not work. both ears are now blocked with wax and infected so can i use sodium bicarbonate drops as well as the 'Otomize' ear spray on infected ear
