What Are The Effects Of External Otitis Treatment On Pregnancy?
Good evening from Greece.. I am at the sixth month of pregnancy and i suffer from a severe external otitis. A doctor washed my ear with boric acid, which i have heard that is linked to birth defects. My condition is not getting better and the doctor said that he will repeat the treatment tomorrow, but i wonder wether something like that will affect my fetus. I would be grateful if you could answer me.... best regards E. Chatziioannou

Hello, local application of boric acid that too in 6th month will not cause any problem
