Echinaciae drops that contain ethanol alcohol

Q: I am taking echinaciae drops that have ethanol alcohol in it. I was told to put the drops in a little boiling water for the alcohol to evaporate, wait for a couple minutes and then drink. Is this allowed?

A: If it is for medicinal purposes then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
