FAQs
What is Otofast Ear Drop used for?
Otofast Ear Drop is used to relieve pain and swelling in certain ear conditions such as middle ear infections, flu-related ear pain, or ear pain caused by pressure changes during flying or diving.
Who should not use Otofast Ear Drop?
People should not use Otofast Ear Drop if they have a perforated eardrum due to infection, injury, or are allergic to lidocaine, phenazone, or any of the ingredients in the medicine.
Why is it important to check the eardrum before using Otofast Ear Drop?
It is very important to make sure the eardrum is intact before using Otofast Ear Drop. If the eardrum is torn, the medicine may enter the middle ear and cause harmful effects.
Can Otofast Ear Drop cause allergic reactions?
Although rare, some people may develop allergic reactions such as itching, redness, swelling, or irritation in the ear canal while using Otofast Ear Drop. If severe reactions like rash, swelling of the face, or difficulty breathing occur, stop using the medicine and seek medical help.
What are the serious side effects of Otofast Ear Drop?
Although they are rare, serious side effects of Otofast Ear Drop may include severe irritation, worsening ear pain, or signs of infection such as fever, pus, or hearing loss. These require medical attention.
Can Otofast Ear Drop be used for more than 10 days?
No, Otofast Ear Drop treatment should not last longer than 10 days. If ear pain continues after this period, a doctor should re-examine the ear to check for other causes.
Can Otofast Ear Drop enter the bloodstream?
Normally, Otofast Ear Drop acts only in the ear canal. However, if the eardrum is damaged, some of the medicine can be absorbed into the body, which may increase the risk of side effects.
What should I do if I experience worsening ear pain while using Otofast Ear Drop?
If ear pain becomes worse, or if new symptoms such as pus, fever, or hearing loss develop, stop using Otofast Ear Drop and consult your doctor immediately.
