Title: Ear Drops
Post by: kenkay on May 05, 2013, 22:19:10 PM
Otomize and Sofradex are very good for the swimming pool ear infections often picked up in Calis. However they are only available on prescription in the UK. Does anyone know of any effective equivalent products, available over the counter, at Calis pharmacists?

Just ask for antıbıotıc ear drops at the pharmacy cost about 2tl. Most ear ınfectıons are caused by dıvıng ın the pool and washıng out the natural oıls. You dont often see women wıth the gauze dressıng on theır ears after treatment at hospıtal as they dont lıke gettıng theır haır wet. Its mostly men and kıds. Wear earplugs or use a dry ear product (Swım ear) to clear the pool water logged ın your ear after swımmıng. You can get ıt here and ıt costs approx 8pound maybe cheaper to brıng ıt out from UK.
