Suggest treatment for swollen painful ear
Patient: my 3 month old son's ear is swollen from outside and he cries with pain... the doctor i went for gave him otocin-o ear drops, taxim-o syrup, nasoclear for nose and crocin for pain. he thinks that milk went in his ear while feeding..please let me know if the medicine priscribed and diognose done is correct Doctor: HelloYour doctor is right.The most common cause of ear infection in this age is improper positioning of baby during feeding.Feed himin slight upright posture.The doctor has prescribed right medication as taxim o has good coverage for the organism causing ear infection.There is also one antibiotic ear drop for local application. He has taken good care of pain and nasal blockade too.If there is no improvement in next 72 hours revisit your doctor for reevaluation.Regards
