Is Nasivion The Right Medication For Ear Pain?

My Son is 18 months old and has discomfort in his ear and keeps rubbing his ears. We got the Tymponomety test done for him and the result says " B/C 'C' type tymponogram". A doctor prescribed 'nasivion mini nasal drops, 2 drops each nostril twice a day for 5 days'.
He has mild runny nose. no fever. He has a history of getting ear pain if the cold persists for a week.
As a mother, I am little worried and wondering why a nasal drop was prescribed for an ear problem. Please help me clear my worry or ignorance.

Hello

The nose drops are a correct prescription and you should continue them. Type B tympanogram suggests that there is fluid inside the ear and this can only be drained through the eustachian tube which is a tube connecting the ear and nose!please continue the drops ans your baby will do fine!
thanks
