Disease description:
A few days ago, while washing, water accidentally entered my ear, and it has been uncomfortable ever since. A colleague recommended chloramphenicol ear drops—what are the side effects of chloramphenicol ear drops?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Chunqing
Chloramphenicol ear drops may cause adverse effects such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, dyspepsia, and optic neuritis. If any of these side effects occur during use, discontinue chloramphenicol ear drops immediately and seek medical evaluation at a hospital. Depending on the clinical situation, your physician may prescribe oral amoxicillin capsules or cephalosporin antibiotics to aid recovery. In daily life, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods.
