TL;DR
In August 2026 a traveler with an ear problem in Nha Trang went to VK Hospital: the consultation cost 250,000 VND, the ear procedure 125,000 VND, and medication was paid separately. Participants advise going to a hospital rather than self-treating a blocked or painful ear: one of them said an acquaintance's self-treatment ended in surgery. Ear drops such as Otipax are sold in local pharmacies, participants say, but treatment decisions are best left to a doctor.
VK Hospital: in August 2026 a traveler reported going to this hospital with an ear problem. The doctor's consultation cost 250,000 VND and the ear procedure 125,000 VND, about 375,000 VND in total, with medication bought separately.
Insurance or pay directly: the same traveler concluded that not every issue is worth taking to the insurer, since it is slow and fiddly and you first have to get through to them. He paid for the inexpensive ear visit himself. This is his personal experience; check the terms of your own policy in advance.
Ear drops: participants wrote in August and October 2026 that Otipax is available in Nha Trang pharmacies. One suggested using it for a blocked-ear feeling, but that is a participant's tip, not medical advice; with severe pain or reduced hearing, seeing an ENT doctor is the safer choice.
Do not put off seeing a doctor: in August 2026, answering a question about ear pain after swimming, a participant advised going to a hospital, adding that an acquaintance's self-treatment ended in surgery. Questions about blocked ears came up in July and October 2026 as well, so it is a common issue after diving and swimming.
