One more question i have new ear drops for my otitis externa and as wondering if it's normal for them to now go in slower and drain out slower now??

See below: If I understand the question correctly, after placing the correct number of drops in your ear, gently press on the small skin flap over the ear to help the drops to run into the ear canal and Keep your ear tilted up for a few minutes or insert a soft cotton plug in your ear.
