A member asked:
Expert opinions? which antiseptic drug can you recommend for otitis media (fluid behind the ear drum)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: I am not aware of any antiseptic drugs used in the treatment of otitis media. However, we do use antibiotics.Those used vary by the age of the patient, the germ expected, personal allergy history and other factors derived by an office visit.Your pcp can sort this out. This site is not a substitute for an office evaluation when indicated.
