Good evening, Even if the pain, the feeling of congestion or blockage in the ear are part of the side effects reported for Ciprodex, they are not very frequent. The first question is do you still have your tubes? If yes, I can first propose you to validate your technique, because it is particular for the tube wearers, namely: You lie on your side, and after having administered the drops, you press gently on the tragus (small external part of the ear which protects the entrance of your ear canal) 5 or 6 times to produce a pumping effect. If you do this correctly and the pain persists, I invite you to make an appointment with your ENT specialist to check this, and first of all if your tube is still there... Not that there is more pain with than without a tube when using Ciprodex, but when a tube is in place, its job is to avoid pain by releasing the internal pressure. And a tube has a variable duration from 6 months to 3 years, but it can fall out at any time... and it can also become blocked... Your ENT specialist can help you
