A member asked:
Can i use over the counter numbing drops for an outer ear infection? i am currently on antibiotic ear drops and oral antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not. Adding another chemical to the treatment without clearing it with your doc is unwise. They can displace/interfere with the meds.
