Hi. It is possible that the ear is blocked with wax and hence the ear drops are not really entering the ear. You can help the ear drops in dissolving the wax by lying on your side with the affected ear on top for about 15-20 minutes after putting the drops. That way the ear drops will be in contact with the wax long enough to have effect. However, if the problem continues for more than about a week, please contact an ENT specialist. Warm regards, Dr. Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
