Description:
Antipyrine and Benzocaine Otic Solution is an ear drop used to temporarily relieve pain from otitis media (middle ear infection). It contains antipyrine, an anti-inflammatory, and benzocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the ear.
This medication does not treat the infection itself, only the symptoms. It should only be used if the eardrum is intact—never if there is drainage or ear tubes. For pain relief, it can be used alongside oral medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

AI generated Summary: Based on the single review provided by Dr. Curbside, Antipyrine and Benzocaine Otic Solution appears to be highly effective in providing fast and efficient pain relief for inner ear infections.

It's purely for symptomatic relief and does not treat the underlying infection, but can be very helpful in managing discomfort. It should not be used if the eardrum is perforated or if there is drainage from the ear.
