Is It Advisable To Give Gentisone Ear Drops For Babies?
hello. my 6 month old baby has got an ear infection. her left ear smells very fishy. The doctor has given her Gentisone ear drops, but I m not sure about this doctor, as he also prescribed her Otosporin ear drops, which apparently isn t suitable for children below 3years old.

Hi,
Gentisone HC ear drops contain Benzalkonium chloride which is quite safe for babies. Go ahead and use as per directions.
