I've been dealing with a cold for the last two years and have been using Cetirizine to manage it. I suspect it might be sinus-related. Is there a way to permanently cure sinus issues?

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?

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.
