Is Optimyxin Safe For Ear Pain?
My 5- year old daughter has been complaining of ear pain for the past 5 hours or so. I gave her tylanol, and that worked for about 2 hours, but then the pain started again. I have Optimyxin eye/ear drops 10 ml at home. Is it safe to use this medication until we are able to see a doctor tomorrow morning? Or is there anything else I can do so that she can be more confortable during the night?
