Can Hydrocortisone Or Acetic Acid Otic Solution Be Used For Treating Ear Congestion?
I have a congested ear sinus I believe? My ears are hurting and it feels clogged, I can breath fine. I am in pain. I took a Allergy Relief of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride tablet. Here is the question, may I take something else like a liquid to put in my ear, IE Hydrocortisone & Acetic Acid Otic Solution, USP?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
I will not advise you put ear drops in your ear without knowing the type of ear problem you have.I will rather advise you see the Doctor for an otoscopic ear exam.From the results of the exam, the nature of the ear problem will be known and your Doctor will decide what treatment to give.
Hope this will help. You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
