You can help the medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry, and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.
It is generally well-tolerated with little or no side effects. However, it may cause a burning sensation, irritation, itching, and redness immediately following application. These side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration.
Although medicines used on the ear are not normally affected by other medicines, you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine to be safe. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask the advice of your doctor before using the medicine.

How Gentavid Plus Ear Drop Works
Gentavid Plus is a combination of four medicines: Lidocaine, Beclometasone, Clotrimazole and Gentamicin which treat ear infections. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen and itchy after an allergy or infection. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins, required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
