Infected Ear

Question

Infected Ear

Asked for Male, 31 Years

I cleaned my ear by myself thoroughly and then the next day, i saw a color green in cotton buds and it pains a lot in my left ear. I can hear a hissing sound in my left ear. It's on 3 days now. I went to a Doctor but he gave me an ear drop but is not available on drugstore which is the Polymixin B Hopefully an ear drop will do or an antibiotic name Please help.
