How To Use APPEARANCE: Liquid, Drop. Your doctor will tell you how much of this medicine to use and how often. Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your doctor tells you to. Use this medicine only in your ear. Do not swallow the medicine, and do not put it in your eyes. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after using this medicine. Gently clean the ear if there is any discharge. Be careful to not put a cotton swab or anything else inside the ear. You may warm the drops by holding the unopened bottle in your hands for a few minutes. Putting room temperature drops in your ear might make you dizzy. Remove the cap.

For a child, gently pull the child's earlobe down and back to straighten the child's ear canal. For an adult, gently pull the earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal. Drop the correct number of drops into the ear. For a middle ear infection (otitis media): Gently fold in the flap of skin at the front of the ear after you put in the drops. Let go of the flap, then fold it in again. Do this 5 times, using a pumping motion. This helps move the medicine into the middle ear. Keep the ear tilted up for a few minutes. Repeat these steps for the other ear, if needed. Keep using this medicine for the full treatment time, even if you feel better after the first few doses. Your infection may not clear up if you stop using the medicine too soon. Your doctor might want to put a wick soaked with the medicine into your ear.
