I'm 27, male and accidentally scratched my ear canal with a qtip (cotton ear buds) while cleaning. There was minor bleeding for few minutes which has stopped. Afterwards cleaned ear off the the blood with lukewarm water. No hearing loss or buzzing sound. Have ear pain and extends to my jaw especially when chewing. Applied cold compress for pain and for any possible inflammation. Have mild fever a day after injury due to pain (4 on a pain scale of 10). Used dolo 650 mg for the pain and fever. Is it advisable to use azibact-500 to prevent possible ear infection and puss build up? Not in a position to visit a doctor hence the self-medication. Thanks.
