A member asked:

Will ciprodex help an ear to drain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Alexander Gorup answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Antibiotic: The Ciprodex is intended to deliver an antibiotic and steroid directly to an infected ear. It really is not meant to help an ear drain.
