You can use an antibiotic ear drop prescribed by your ENT doctor that is safe after eardrum surgery, such as ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin drops. Do not use ear drops containing steroids or other antibiotics unless approved by your doctor. Always follow your doctor?s instructions regarding dosage and duration.

    • If anti-inflammatory action is needed, dexamethasone-containing drops can be considered as an alternative.

  3. Important Precautions

    • Avoid ototoxic drugs post-surgery. Monitor for allergies, especially with neomycin alternatives.

  4. Consultation and Follow-up

    • Consult an ENT specialist for tailored treatment. Follow-up is crucial, especially if symptoms persist.

    • Examples include Ciplox Otic (Ciprofloxacin) and Oflax Otic (Ofloxacin).
