ENT Specialist 's  Response
hello. it is likely that there is a fungal infection and not a bug in your ear. you can put antifungal drops like candid/candibiotic/clotrimazole ear drops , 3 drops 4-5 times a day, you must keep the ear dry and can take allegra tablet for the itching. please meet your ENT doctor as you still have to be examined!. thanks
