A member asked:
I have an ear infection and i was given what i thought was ear drops but it's ofloxacin 0.3% eye drops. what should i do?

Try it: You can give it a shot, using the eye drops, as the active ingredient is appropriate for treating ear infections. If you receive no relief in a day or two, contact your physician for the ear drop equivalent.
