I have an war infection in my eardrum and the ear canal causes from pool water. I live abroad. I have been prescribed siprogut eat drops but my mum swears that you should keep your ear completely dry in any ear problem?

The chemist also gave me apranax and I haven't managed to find anything online that says apranax help with ear pain.
I am from the uk but living in turkey.
Thanks in advance for your help!
