Prescribed for ear infection at local walk in clinic. Had ear tube but it apparently came out and infection started again. Had used this once before and had a large amount of pain.

I just started using this today. The pain in my ear started on Mon. After using the drops, I did continue to have sharp pains periodically. My ear is more tender and sore to touch then earlier today. Could be just the infection running it's course...
