Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this irritation that you have reported. Ciprodex is generally recommended for 7days in total to treat ear infections. I will recommend that you stop this after the 7th day. If you should still have symptoms after completing 7days, then you would need to be re-examined to make sure we there i nothing more disturbing that we are missing out on.
In all, stop after the 7th day. Ciprodex contains a steroid and would help with the irritation.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
