If some life insects enter in ear first thing to do is apply oil or oil like thick liquid (should be clean)this is to make the insect suffocate and die. There can be some damage to your ear canal skin which takes 1 week to heal.so you can use the same antibiotic drops to avoid secondary infection. You can have your routine head bath after 1 week.Get Well soon
