π¨ Don't ignore ear pain. π¨
This customer woke up with severe ear pain that was spreading down the side of their face. They were understandably reluctant to see their GP and hoped it would settle on its own.
After taking a look with the otoscope, it was clear this wasn't something that could be treated with ear wax removal. The ear canal was very red, swollen and inflamed, and they were advised to contact their GP the same day for medical assessment and treatment.
At Ear Savvy, your health always comes first. If we feel your symptoms are caused by an infection or another medical condition, we'll always point you in the right direction rather than carrying out treatment that isn't appropriate.
Sometimes, a quick look inside the ear can make all the difference. π
Not every ear problem is caused by wax β and knowing when to seek medical advice is just as important.
