Kõrvatilkadega

Kõrvatilkadega refers to ear drops in Estonian. Ear drops are liquid medications administered into the ear canal to treat a variety of conditions affecting the ear. They are commonly used to manage ear infections, such as otitis externa (swimmer's ear) and otitis media (middle ear infection), as well as to soften earwax for easier removal. The active ingredients in ear drops vary depending on the intended use and can include antibiotics, antifungals, anti-inflammatory agents, or cerumenolytics.

The administration of ear drops typically involves tilting the head to the side or lying down with the affected ear facing upwards. The prescribed number of drops is then instilled into the ear canal, and the head is kept in position for a few minutes to allow the medication to penetrate effectively. It is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional or on the medication's packaging to ensure proper dosage and application.

Certain precautions should be taken when using ear drops. It is generally advised not to insert anything into the ear canal, including the dropper tip, to avoid injury or contamination. If ear pain persists or worsens after using ear drops, medical attention should be sought. In some cases, ear drops may cause temporary side effects like stinging or itching. Allergic reactions are rare but possible. The use of ear drops should be discussed with a doctor, especially for children, pregnant women, or individuals with pre-existing ear conditions.
