How Effective Are Sofradex Ear Drops In Managing Ear Infection?
Question: Hey dr,
I've been on Sofradex ear drops for an ear infection since Wednesday and it's now Sunday. Pretty much all of my pain is gone it's just slightly blocked now. Can I stop taking the ear drops now since I feel better because they don't seem to be doing anything more for me anymore or should I continue them?
Kind Regards,
XXXX

Hi Sir,
I have gone through your question and suggest you that continue the sofradex ear drops for 2 days more.
Only symptomatic relieves not indicates the complete recovery from the disease.
I would like to personally suggest that consult the ENT specialist for further management or send me the otoscopic finding of your ears.
