A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cipro (ciprofloxacin) works: Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that is highly effective for outer ear infections when placed topically into the ear canal. It is typically administered multiple times daily for up to 10 days or longer in the affected ear. If your diagnosis was recent, and especially if your symptoms are persistent, you would be well-advised to follow your physician's instructions.
