ear drops instilled in the ear canal can go through patent (open) surgical tubes go down the eustachian tubes to the back of the throat. those drops would then have to travel upwards (unless she is lying down at the time) and go up to the nose and travel up the nasolacrimal duct to get to her high. this is really an unlikely journey. is it possible the drops are draining out of her ear canal into her eye or a finger goes into her wet ear and accidentally rubs her eyes a few moments later? hi there! thank you for answering my question. no when i instill them she is lying on her side and she feels them go to her eye from inside her ear. nothing is leaking or being touched externally. i wonder if it can be a nerve in her ear making her feel the sensation? is that possible? can a nerve make it feels like the liquid is traveling to her eye? thank you!
is it normal to feel ear drops drain to your eye? . my 8 yr old daughter complains of feeling the liquid abt 1-2 seconds after i instill them. she said sometimes she feels them go in her eye and sometimes it stops abt an inch from the outside corner of her eye. she is lying down when i instill the drops. she does have a tube in her ear still. i've heard of them draining to the back of the throat but not into the eye from the ear. she has a auto immune and or auto inflammatory disease not yet known. thank you!
