Gloria: Auralgan is a product with mostly anesthetic and analgesic
properties used as an adjunct treatment for otitis media, and ocasionally
to help remove impacted ear wax. It contains antipyrine (analgesic),
benzocaine (anesthetic) and dehydrated glycerin (reduces pressure and
congestion). I'm not sure on what basis this doctor is using the drops,
as he said there's no ear infection. I guess it couldn't hurt, unless it
causes sensitization or irritation to the baby's ear canal. Alicia
