Typical dosage for Acetic Acid

Soak a piece of cotton with acetic acid and place it in the infected ear(s). Or, you can place the cotton in the ear first and then wet it with the acetic acid drops. Leave the cotton in the ear(s) for at least 24 hours. Make sure to add 3 to 5 drops of acetic acid every 4 to 6 hours to keep it wet.

Remove the cotton after 24 hours, but continue placing 5 drops of acetic acid in the infected ear(s) 3 or 4 times per day, as directed by a healthcare professional. Some children with smaller ears might only need 3 or 4 drops at a time.
