Suggest Treatment For Ear Problems

Went to the doctor and she told me I have a lot of fluid in my ears. She gave me an antibiotic to take by mouth but she didn t give me any ear drops. She also said my ear drums are inverted. My question is, Can I take ofloxacin ear drops to help this problem?

Hello,

Ear drops not useful in retracted tympanic membrane so use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Avoid cool drinks and ice creams.

Use otrivin nasal spray twice a day for one week. Why nasal drops means it will open the eustachian tube block. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
