Dr. Liu Chunqing
Ofloxacin ear drops possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. As a quinolone-class antibiotic, ofloxacin ear drops are highly effective in treating acute otitis media, otitis externa, and tympanitis. However, they must be used strictly under the guidance of a physician; self-administration is not recommended to avoid potential adverse reactions.
