I'm dealing with an outer ear infection (otitis externa) and my doctor prescribed Hydrocort/acetic Acid Otic Sol(ear) drops. The medicine contains acetic acid to kill bacteria and fungi, and hydrocortisone to reduce swelling, redness, and itching. I'm wondering if anyone else has used this medication and can share their experience. Did it work well for you? Did you experience any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I'm particularly concerned about the urgent side effects like allergic reactions, and I'm curious if anyone has had to deal with those. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
