If your condition does not improve within 5 to 7 days, or if it becomes worse, check with your family doctor.
While you are being treated with otic corticosteroids and after you stop treat, do not have any immunizations - vaccinations without your family doctor's approval. Otic corticosteroids may lower your body's resistance and there is a risk you might get the infection the immunization is trying to prevent. In addition, other people living in your household must not take or have recently taken oral polio vaccine since there is a risk they could pass the polio virus on to you. Always avoid other people who have taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you can't take these precautions, you must consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
