If there is pus or discharge over the
external auditory meatus
(opening of the ear), clean it
away gently with a cotton bud.
Alternatively you can roll some
cotton into a sharp ended tip.
Ensure that the ear drop solution is at body temperature
(about 37 degrees Celcius) before instillation. Warm the
solution by hand prior to use, if necessary.
Too cold a solution in the ear may cause extreme
giddiness and nausea.
In an adult, pull the ear pinna
upwards and outwards to
straighten the outer ear canal.
In a child, pull the ear pinna
outwards and downwards
instead.
Hold the head in the position over
the next 10 minutes. Rise up
after that, placing clean tissue
paper/cotton against the ear.
If ear drum perforation is present,
the tragus should be massaged
several times to displace the
solution into the middle ear (i.e
the space behind the ear drum)
Avoid direct contact between the
tip of the solution container and
the ear as you instill the ear
drops (number of drops as
prescribed by your doctor) into
the external ear canal.
Repeat the instillation as directed by your doctor i.e
Twice or Three times a day.
Lie down with the ear to be
treated facing upwards
adult: upwards &
outwards
kids: downwards
& outwards
