Ear Infection

The usual dose is 2 or 3 drops put into the ear three or four times each day.

Once the redness, itching and soreness starts to feel better, apply the drops less often.

How to Use

1. Tilt the head to one side

2. Place drops in the ear canal (squeeze bottle gently if necessary)

3. Keep head tilted for a minute or two to let the drops soak in

4. Repeat for other ear if needed.
