| Acute external otitis |
| Use sufficient medication to fill the entire ear canal, typically 4 to 6 drops for an adult ear. |
| Following instillation of ear drops, patients should lie on their (opposite) side for 3 to 5 minutes or place a cotton ball in the ear canal for 20 minutes. |
| Protect the ear from water. |
| In-ear devices (eg, hearing aids, headphone "ear buds") should not be worn until clinical resolution and should be disinfected prior to reuse. |
| Prevention of external otitis recurrence |
| Fingers, towels, cotton swabs, or other foreign objects should not be inserted into the canal. |
| For those who engage in water sports, the use of ear plugs and thorough ear drying is encouraged. |
| Hearing aids should be removed nightly and cleaned regularly. |
