Question 1

hi doctors, was just wondering what is aurodex otic solution?

Accepted Answer

Ciprodex?: Not sure I have ever heard of aurodex.  There are several antibiotic ear drops, including Cortisporin, (neomycin polymyxin and hydrocortisone) Floxcin otic and Ciprodex.  But if there is an aurodex, it is probably an antibiotic coupled with a steroid and is used for external otitis or middle ear infection with a tube or a perforation of the ear drum associated with middle ear infection.

Question 2

i have such ear pain that i cannot sleep. it started 24 hours ago and is getting worse. i did get aurone from the pharmacy and have added drops 4 time?

Accepted Answer

You may have an: ear infection or if your hearing is affected, a punctured eardrum.  You need to be seen by a healthcare provider who can examine you thoroughly and manage your ear pain.  Do not wait, see a doctor right away.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 3

i have earpain. i visted my gp today. she gave me cortisone, antibiotics and painkillers for otitus media. i forgot to ask if i should still use aurone eardrops that i got before seeing her????

Accepted Answer

Ask Doctor: They probably looked into the ear. The ear drum sometimes ruptures with an infection. You would not want to use the ear drops if the drum was ruptured. Maybe that is why you got oral antibiotics and other meds. Just call the office and ask to have it clarified.

Question 4

hi, i've had  an ear infection for two weeks now.  i went to private owned pharmacy due to covid outbreak at clics. 1 time i was given aurone drops, advic cs. acc200 and airmune. symptos got worse, was given kortisone (1 x p day) and sinucol.  ?

Accepted Answer

See your Dr.: Middle ear infections are typically due to bacteria. See your Dr for a thorough exam, especially of the ear. The Dr will be able to see what is going on through the ear drum and be able to prescribe medication specific to the condition. Unfortunately, pharmacies cannot prescribe medications. All the meds you took so far were over the counter to control inflammation and or congestion.

Question 5

it appears that i have mild middle ear infection. i've had middle ear infection before where my dr prescribed antibiotics & genpayne. i've been taking genpayne & septogard, though would you suggest taking aurone forte ear drops as well? chantelle?

Accepted Answer

Otitis media: The treatment for an ear drum infection is oral antibiotics. The only ear drops usually prescribed is ones to reduce pain from the inflamed drum.Aurone ear drums are used to remove ear wax. If your MD was able to diagnose a middle ear infection, he/she must have had a clear view of the ear drum and,thus, there couldn't have been  a large wax buildup in the canal. Your MD can advise you best.

Question 6

dear dr. i have a painful ear infection for 2 weeks now. i visited 2 chemists. 1st was given aurone and sinus medication including nasal spray . 2nd gave cortisone tablets for fluid in ear, and sinus meds. ear still not cleared up.

Accepted Answer

Ear Infection: If you truly have an ear infection you most probably need an antibiotic. Please see a physician rather than chemists for a proper diagnosis and correct medication.

Question 7

will betahistine dihydrchloride help seasickness?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: In one published study, betahistine dihydrochloride was tested in 10 patients with a history of motion sickness.  The use of this drug was found to significantly improve the tolerance of treated patients to a defined scenario of motion sickness (matsnev et al: efficacy of histaminergic drugs in experimental motion sickness.  Journal of vestibular research, 2007, volume 17, pages 313-321).

Question 8

the doctor prescribed protonix can i use nexium (esomeprazole)?

Accepted Answer

Proton pump inhibito: If you have been given an RX for protonic and already have Nexium (esomeprazole) at home I see no reason not to take the Nexium (esomeprazole).  Now if the Nexium (esomeprazole) is some one else's then you need to use what is prescribed for you.

Question 9

taking 20mg generic lexapro (escitalopram) daily, 1mg klonopin as needed (rarely), can i take 100mg sumatriptan occasionally for migraine, advil/tylenol does nothing?

Accepted Answer

Using Sumatriptan together with Lexapro (escitalopram) can increase the risk of a rare but serious Serotonin Syndrome
