Hello, about a week ago i was diagnosed with a viral upper respiratory infection and later otitis externa do i clean my ears after using the drops?

Mgt: I would recommend, gently wicking away any excess liquid with a cotton ball after allowing the application of the drops a few moments in the ear canal.
