Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
As per your details, ORECIL NF contains oflox + hydrocortisone + lidocaine.
It best works for ear canal and ear drum infections, should be used for 3 drops/3 times/ 7 -10 days, depending on the diagnosis.
In my opinion, you need to review with your treating doctor after 10 days. meanwhile, protect your ear from water (by plugging ear canal with cotton) during bath to prevent reinfection. Avoid self cleaning and insertion of ear buds.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
7-10 days.

Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
Each millilitre(ML) contains 15-20 drops, ear canal volume is 0.8 ml.
As such, 3 drops/ 3 times/ 7-10 days, for 10-15 minuets is sufficient . To prevent soiling or draining, just plug it with dry cotton ball.
Hope, I have answered your query,
Take care.
