What medicines or ear drops are used to treat a chronic middle ear infection?

Asked by Female, 34 · 3 days ago

Chronic middle ear infections are typically managed with prescription ear drops and keeping the ear dry. Doctors commonly prescribe antibiotic ear drops such as ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin, which are safe to use even if the eardrum is perforated. Sometimes, these are combined with a mild steroid (like dexamethasone) to reduce swelling and itching. If the infection is more severe or spreading, oral antibiotics may be prescribed. Because chronic infections can persist, it is highly recommended to have an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist evaluate your ear to ensure proper healing and protect your hearing.
