My brother-in-law is a former pediatrician and recently informed me that acetone (as well as similar solvents such as denatured alcohol) can be used to effectively treat inner ear infections. My 4-year-old son was recently diagnosed with a very bad double ear infection. I’ve been giving him the prescribed antibiotics, but would acetone drops help speed along the process? How many drops should I give him and how many times per day?
Thanks!
