My pediatrician prescribed Cipro/fluocinolone Pf Otic Solution for my child's ear infection, and I'm curious to know others' experiences. This medicine combines an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and a steroid (fluocinolone) to treat ear infections, especially in children with ear tubes. The antibiotic fights bacteria while the steroid reduces swelling and inflammation. I've read about possible side effects and I was a bit worried, so I'm hoping to hear about other parents' experiences using this medication.
