A member asked:
Please tell me, could i use normal saline(sodium chloride eye drops) for my ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depends upon what you are treating but saline eyedrops would not be harmful to your ears. However that is a rather expensive way to use eardrops. Pharmacies carry less expensive ear drops due to the volume needed.
