Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Otocin ear drops contains chloramphenicol, clotrimazole along beclomethasone and lignocaine. This medication contains antibiotic along with antifungal, which is used to relieve pain, congestion and swelling caused by middle ear inflammation called 'acute otitis media'.
Kindly consult Pediatrician before its institution to the other ear as it needs to be assessed weather only one ear is affected or both the ears.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
