 [ Symptoms ] half vinegar half alcohol mix for external ear infection while taking topical antibiotics so i have been using ciprodex for 5 days and it has not worked for me my ent doctor told me to try the 12 alcohol 12 vinegar mix can i apply this mix alongside the antibiotic at different hours  because the antibiotic ear drops is supposed to be used for 7 10 days and i am still at my 5th day thank you [ Disease ] you need to call the ent and ask for patient specific advice typically i use the vinegar solution as a preventative rather than a treatment the cirprodex should be doing the job assuming this is a bacterial infection and not fungal
