Hello, Kylie! How are you?

I've had swimmer's ear and used these drops. That feeling is normal, when you use them, because in order to reach the infected part of the ear, you have to fill the ear canal with them.

According to the FDA, for the best effectiveness, you should keep your head tilted to the side for 5 minutes, before straightening it and allowing the ear to drain.

However no, the drops do not stay trapped in there, even though it feels like that do. That's just them going into the ear canal to do their job.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of these drops as possibly including ear tickling, itching, full/stuffy feeling and drainage.

Is there anything else I can help with?
