About Otitis Externa
Otitis externa is an inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal, often caused by water exposure, excessive ear cleaning, or irritation from ear devices.
Common symptoms include:
Ear pain or tenderness
Itchiness and redness
Swelling or discharge from the ear
Temporary hearing loss due to blockage
If left untreated, the infection can worsen and cause significant discomfort.
About Otomize Ear Spray
Otomize is a prescription-only medicine that contains:
Neomycin – an antibiotic that treats bacterial infection
Dexamethasone – a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling
Acetic acid – helps restore the ear’s natural acidic environment, discouraging bacterial growth
​
This combination provides both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action to quickly relieve pain and clear infection.
