 [ Symptoms ] my wife is getting pain and pressure in her chest which moves to her jaw and down her right arm is it asthma  she has had asthma as a child we recently moved from south florida to virginia where it seems her asthma came back not been bad until recently if she takes a shot off of her pump or does a treatment and takes a xanax it goes away but she feels week for a little while [ Disease ] there can be several reasons since i can not examine your ear or even know the underlying reason you are using the ciprodex there are several different types of ear infections it is difficult for me to blindly determine a reason one reason could be ear canal swelling in otitis externa the ear canal can nearly swell shut some clinicians will insert a wick in the ear canal to allow those drops to penetrate other reason is a wax impaction or a canal filled with pus or other debris many clinicians will not attempt to clean out the ear when it is painful so if you have a blockage of debris those drops will not go in i would suggest that you consult the clinician currently treating you since they examined you last
