| Add Ciprodex review After an exam, he said it was infected and prescribed one week of Ciprodex drops and if it did not get better, to return. After the first day of drops (twice a day)I started losing my hearing in the right ear and could not get the hearing aid in the ear without a lot of trouble and pain. By the third day, I could not hear at all out of my right ear and it "popped" and felt stopped up completely--the hearing aid was impossible to use. I had swimmers ear and have been using these drops for 12 days. I have pronounced ringing and a bubble feeling in the ear with diminished hearing. I read the reviews and am wondering why the ENT doc that I saw says that this is the BEST product on the market????? its a terrible product that doesn't do anything but give you more pain and hearing loss. was prescribed this two times thought maybe i got a bad batch the first time but second time around its as bad as i thought. Don't try it, if your doctor tries to prescribe it beg for something else.Had Otis media. | Add Cortisporin review This is the worst medication I have EVER experienced. My ears were starting to feel better from peroxide irrigation. A few hours after, I put my drops in. THE SAME PAIN I HAVE BEEN GETTING ONLY HAPPENS WITH THESE! :( From my opinion they make things sooo much worse! DON'T use these!!!!! I'm having serious side effects--burning, itching--ears are so very sore, kept me up for several nights. Rash from ears to neck. Stopped using the drops after 4 1/2 days & 5 days later still haven't got rid of the problems. Never using it again. | |||
