Typical dosage for Hydrocortisone/Acetic Acid

Soak a piece of cotton with Hydrocortisone/Acetic Acid and place it in the infected ear(s). You can also put the cotton in the ear first and then wet it with the Hydrocortisone/Acetic Acid drops. Leave the cotton in the ear(s) for at least 24 hours. Add 3 to 5 drops of Hydrocortisone/Acetic Acid every 4 to 6 hours to keep it wet.

Take out the cotton after 24 hours, but continue to put 5 drops of Hydrocortisone/Acetic Acid in the infected ear(s) 3 or 4 times per day, as instructed by a healthcare professional. Some children with smaller ears might only need 3 or 4 drops at a time.
