Help! could sulfacetamide sodium ophthalmic solution usp can be used to treat ear infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic eye drops: Can be used to treat external ear canal infections as long as this is prescribed by your physician. On the other hand, you should not use ear drops to treat eye infections.
