Otalgin — Infant Ear Infection Treatment
Otalgin is an over-the-counter herbal ear drop that reduces the pain and discomfort associated with ear infections. Otalgin is a blend of glycerol, alcohol and geranium. Both glycerol and alcohol act as local dehydrating agents (15), reducing pressure within the middle ear, which in turn reduces ear ache associated with pressure. In addition, alcohol may act as a topical analgesic, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial agent (16, 17).
Otalgin is bottled in 0.5 oz. glass vials with the dropper attached and with a tamper-proof closing.
