Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that provides temporary relief from pain and itching in the ear. Chlorbutol acts as a mild antibacterial agent, inhibiting the growth of bacteria that may be contributing to the infection.

Common side effects may include temporary burning or stinging sensation in the ear, mild irritation, or itching. These side effects are usually temporary and subside on their own.

In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. If you experience severe pain, worsening of symptoms, rash, swelling, or any other unusual or severe reactions, seek immediate medical attention.
