I was prescribed Neo/poly/hc 1% Otic Susp Green (ear) drops for a stubborn case of swimmer's ear. I've been reading about the possible side effects, especially the urgent ones, and I'm getting a bit anxious. Has anyone had any severe reactions to this medication? I'm really worried about the potential for hearing loss or allergic reactions. I've also read that it can cause changes in urine output. I've only started using it, so I'm hoping to hear some reassuring stories or at least know what to expect. Also, any tips on how to administer the drops would be greatly appreciated, as I'm finding it a bit tricky!

I recently started using Vosol HC Otic Solution for an outer ear infection (swimmer's ear) and I'm curious to know if anyone else has used this medication. The active ingredients, acetic acid and hydrocortisone, are supposed to kill bacteria and fungi, as well as reduce inflammation. However, I'm experiencing some burning and stinging. I'm wondering how common this is and if it will go away. Has anyone had a similar experience or any tips on how to make the application less painful? Also, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the allergic reactions. Has anyone had any severe reactions? I want to be prepared and know what to look out for. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been dealing with swimmer's ear for a while now, and my doctor prescribed Vosol 2% Otic Solution. It's an acetic acid otic solution that's supposed to make the ear canal more acidic to stop bacterial and fungal growth. Has anyone else used this? I'm curious about your experiences, especially any side effects you might have encountered. The packaging warns about some serious side effects like allergic reactions and ear irritation, but I'm hoping it won't be too bad. I'd appreciate any advice or insights!
