    Prescribed for ear infection at local walk in clinic. Had ear tube but it apparently came out and infection started again. Had used this once before and had a large amount of pain. No different this time. Perhaps even worse. Felt like a drill in my ear. Extremely painful. Had me hopping all over the place for 10 mins.

    I have been taking these drops for awhile now. I have an allergic reaction to yeast, which tends to build up in my ears. Taking these drops help control this. I have much faith in it
