EarCalm Spray 5ml

Outer ear infections are often very painful– especially when you touch or tug on your earlobe. Itching is common too. The skin in the ear canal is red and swollen, and sometimes also sheds skin flakes or oozes a liquid. The ear might then become blocked, making it difficult to hear properly.

If you have a perforated eardrum or think you may have one, consult your doctor before you use this medicine.
