A member asked:
Is it ok to treat a possible ear infection with neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates ear drops if i have shingles in my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: However their maybe oral medications that would better suit than using a liquid inside the ear that is already inflammed with Shingles. See a doctor to make sure your Tympanic membrane or hearing drum is still intact. It can break but will heal up in weeks with decreased hearing during that time. See a doctor for best advise.
