What about her past history of hearing, since how many days her hearing impaired, why you people using ear drops?? Why she is drowsy???
Possibility of age related hearing loss, and ear wax but putting of continuous ear drops cause increase ear moisture again cause fungal growth in the ear canal.
Low immunity causes secondary infections in bedridden patient.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and give you correct medicine.
