I'm using ear drops that were prescribed to me, but every time I lie down and then stand up, the drops seem to come out of my ear. Is this supposed to happen, or should I be concerned?

My nose is also blocked most of the time, and I often have this feeling of mucus in my throat. What could be causing this?

I'm a bit worried because my ear started hurting yesterday and it feels swollen and painful inside. I've had ear infections before, but this doesn't feel like thatit just feels swollen. I tried to take a video, and it looks like there's something white in my ear. Could this be an infection or something else? Should I be concerned?

That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.
