For Otitis Externa "Ok, so I was scared after reading these reviews of Ciprodex. But these worked so fast for me. I had a middle ear infection that worsened over 3 days, and somehow I also ended up with swimmer's ear as well. I had severe pain, my ear canal was swollen shut, and I couldn’t hear. After 2 days, these drops opened up my ear and I could hear, and the pain got much better. Now, 5 days later, I feel completely back to normal. I am so glad they worked."

For Otitis Externa "Took Ciprodex for an ear infection. It immediately intensified my pain, so I stopped it. Saw ENT one day later while on amoxicillin clav and steroid, he thought pain could have been from the ear being flushed. He advised trying Ciprodex again. After the next dose, I was thrown immediately into suffering pain, stabbing and throbbing pain, inflamed jaw and throat. Pain will not relent. Taken 3 Tylenol and iced it. 14 hours later, still throbbing. Please tell me this pain will stop! Never take this med, it's torture!"

For Otitis Externa "I was having an on-and-off again ear pain for over 3 months. The 1st NP did not give me Ciprodex nor Amoxicillin, and the ear infection got worse. At first, the pain was only at night, but now it's day and night. I went to another NP, and she prescribed Ciprodex and Amoxicillin. The first dose of Ciprodex was unbearable today, and the pain lasted for 2 hours. It did push some wax or infection out of my ear. I have 6 more days to go, so hopefully, I will not have the same pain experience every day."
