Question
My child is seven months old and has recently been scratching their ears and hitting their head. Examination revealed red and swollen ear canals. After using Tramcinolone Chloramphenicol Solution drops, the ear where the drops were applied turned white. I am asking if this condition is related to the drops, whether I should continue using them, and if not suitable, how should I treat it, as well as what impact the drug may have on the baby.
Answer
Based on the provided information, a white ear in babies may be a side effect of using Tramcinolone Chloramphenicol Solution. It is recommended to observe the baby’s condition. If they stop scratching their ears and hitting their head after applying the drops, you can continue using them until recovery, and the ear will gradually return to normal after stopping the medication. If there is no improvement, it should be discontinued immediately and replaced with Erythromycin Eye Drops. These are my suggestions for the question, hoping they will be helpful to you, and wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
