A member asked:
I have swimmers ear. fnp rxd me cortisporin 4x/ day every 4h & let it sit for at least 5min. can i let it sit longer? idk wat 2 do after 5min is up

You can: let it sit until it drains out on its own, or tip your head and let it drain out after 5 minutes. The most important thing is to finish out the course of antibiotics, and not stop them early even if you are feeling better. Hope this helps!
