medication mix-ups happen all the time. sometimes they can be serious. in your case luckily no so much. putting a single dose of antibiotic drops in your healthy ear should have no adverse effects on the ear at all. you should not continue treating that ear however. just use the drops as directed on the infected ear and all should be well. also do not try to "rinse out" or otherwise "clean" the antibiotic drops out of your healthy ear. there's no reason to do this and you could wind up causing an infection or perforating your ear drum. hope this sets your mind at ease! take care!
i put an ear drop antibiotic in the wrong ear last night. what should i do? should i continue the dose on the wrong ear? . i've been prescribed with an ear drop antibiotic for my right ear outer infection but when i was waking up and trying to apply my first dose of the day i put it in the wrong ear (left). i was half asleep at that time and when i woke up i just realized it's the other ear. should i continue doing the dose on the left or should i leave it alone? . (of course i would still continue doing the doses on right). is it dangerous if i use the antibiotic ear drop on both ears?
