I used to use earphones for longer hours.And recently my left ear started to pain slightly when I use earphones and along with an uncomfortable feeling in that particular ear. I get irritated when I hear loud noises these days and there is slight persistent pain (very little) in d same ear. I consulted an ENT specialist and he prescribed me cognix plus for 10 days twice a day. Is it safe to have it?
