Accidental administration of Atarax (hydroxyzine) drops into the ear is unlikely to cause serious harm, provided the eardrum is intact. It might cause some temporary, mild irritation. Gently wipe any excess liquid from the outer ear with a clean, damp cloth, but please do not insert cotton swabs or anything else into the ear canal. Keep a close eye on your baby for any signs of discomfort, redness, or unusual discharge. I highly recommend contacting your pediatrician or local poison control center for a quick evaluation.
