When i put eat drops in i sit with my head tilted to keep the medication in my ear.. is this correct? how long do i keep my head tilted?

30 to 60 seconds: Most drops a placed in a dose of two to four drops. Usually keeping your head tilted for 30 to 60 seconds will allow the drops to get deeper into the canal and not drain out.
