Question 3

I'm just wondering about how long you can use ear drops after opening them. If the bottle says they expire in November 2022, does that mean they're good to use until then, even if I've opened it?

Accepted Answer

After opening a bottle of ear drops, it is generally safe to use them for about 4 weeks. However, it is important to check the specific instructions on the bottle for any recommended duration of use after opening. If the bottle indicates an expiration date of November 2022, you can use the ear drops until that date as long as you follow proper storage instructions and there are no signs of contamination or changes in the appearance or smell of the drops. Make sure to recap the bottle tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.

that much of information is not enough to advice cough syrup
