A member asked:
My son just complained of dizziness and pain after i gave him swimmers ear drops ( half vinegar and half alcohol). i would appreciate any suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: The dizziness is quite common if u put the ear drops which are very different in temperature from the surroundings. The pain is common if the ear canal is inflamed and irritated. You shd stop using the drops. Try it again one more time. If the symptoms recur you shd visit his doctor. If the pain was severe it wld be better if u go earlier and do not use the drops again till he is checked out.
