Clotrimazole Topical - can these drops be used in the ear, they were prescibed that way for my 8?

Yes. Clotrimazole solution can be used to treat fungal ear infections. Two to three drops of the solution should be put in the ear two to three times daily. Treatment should be continued for at least two weeks after the symptoms of the infection have cleared up.

It probably feels uncomfortable for your son. Warm the dropper bottle up in your hands before using the solution and get your son to lie down whilst you instil them. If it is too difficult speak to your doctor.
