My nanny mistakenly put probiotics drops in my 1year old's ear. i am worried about this, can i do anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly : Probiotics are just colonies of germs that are helpful to the digestive system. The moisture of the drop would be a transient irritant, like getting water in the canal, but the colonies would not affect the intact skin of the canal. That skin is naturally protected by its own ear wax. I wouldn't do it again but I would not do anything either.
