Have been taking these ear drops for 3 days now. My tongue is numb, my chest is tight, and it's hard to breath. Feels like I'm impaired. My whole body hurts and this started out as a simple inner and outer ear infection in both ears, start taking these drops and now I feel like my heart and brain is going to explode and my face and body feel numb, on top of all of that my ears have gotten worse!!!! Should I call my doctor or go to the hospital? Please help! ## Go to the hospital. Could be an anaphylactic attack! ## @PainPainPain, I hope you've been well on your way to fully recovering since the timing of your post and subsequent feedback.

Therefore, what you are both experiencing could be a side effect, or a possible allergic reaction. I...

Neomycin, Polymyxin b sulfate and Hydrocortisone otic suspension (exp 4/2008) was used in my eye in error. Will it be ok without having to see a doctor? ## Since this is not a sterile solution, like it would be for the eye, it would be best to have it checked out, just to be sure. The FDA warns that it could cause an eye infection, irritation, or redness. Has there been any change? Did you experience any adverse effects?

I went to a clinic this past wednesday & had a massive ball of wax removed from my right ear & the pain in my right ear has subsided. Now my left ear feels like its full, clogged & hurts on & off since wednesday but 2 doctors in that clinic assured me there's no wax in my left ear BUT that my left middle inner ear has "supposed" fluid in it that needs to dry OUT. So I was prescribed amoxicillin 2x a day for 10 days & prednisone 40mg a day for 4 days ((to dry out my left ear, which steroid makes no sense to dry my ear out anyway??)). Well amoxicillin I am fine with but the prednisone left me with the worst acid reflux (since I'm an acid reflux sufferer), awful hives from head to toe, & was shaking horrificly like a leaf because I took prednisone fo...
