Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Can I use diclofenac eye drops in my 10-month-old baby's ear for ear pain?
Answered by Dr. Imran Ibrahim
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
No, that is not recommended. Diclofenac eye drops are not intended for use in the ear, especially in infants. It's important to first rule out an ear infection or any other underlying issue before proceeding with any symptomatic treatments. I recommend consulting with your pediatrician to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your baby’s ear pain.
Thanks
