Treatments for Swollen Ear Canal
You often do not require any special treatments for mild cases of the swollen ear canal. Symptoms tend to improve after a few days. When a bacterial infection is the main cause, antibiotic medication or ear drops may be prescribed to help alleviate pain. Similarly, you can use antifungal drops to treat a fungal infection. NSAIDs or acetaminophen can also be effective in relieving pain. For allergies, decongestants and antihistamines would help relieve some symptoms. [9]
