ack! try a warm compress. Don't use steroid drops in anyone's eyes unless they're specifically prescribed for that patient for that purpose.

What is normal dosage of hydrocortisone neomycin sulfate polymyxin B sulfate otic drops?
Therapywith this product should be limited to 10 consecutive days.The external auditory canal should be thoroughly cleansed and dried with a sterile cotton applicator.For adults, 4 drops of the suspension should be instilled into the affected ear 3 or 4 times daily. For infants and children, 3 drops are suggested because of the smaller capacity of the ear canal.The patient should lie with the affected ear upward and then the drops should be instilled. This position should be maintained for 5 minutes to facilitate penetration of the drops into the ear canal. Repeat, if necessary, for the opposite ear.If preferred, a cotton wick may be inserted into the canal and then the cotton may be saturated with the suspension. This wick should be kept moist by adding further suspension every 4 hours. The wick should be replaced at least once every 24 hours.SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING.

Is it dangerous to take expired Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride?
I'm thinking NOT dangerous because they have ciprofloxacin ear drops but they contain a steroid-dexamethasone. However, those ear drops are very expensive, so if you have cipro eye drops... it's basically the same thing, but without steroids. You will need to consult your doctor tho because he will want you to take an anti-inflammatory for the pain or give you separate drops. BTW- whoever answered this question before me is a complete idiot.
