Ear Infection Cleared With Antibiotics, Again Returned With Wetness And Itchiness Inside. What Could It Be?
i had an ear infection around 3 and a half months ago in my right ear and had to go on 2 courses of anti-biotics before it went. around a month ago my right ear again started to feel strange but not as bad a last time. its constantly itchy inside and feels as if it is wet inside. when i tap around my ear also the the sound is muffled, but there is no pain. my left ear is absolutely fine. do you have any ideas what it could be.

hello.it is likely that you have developed a fungal infection of the right ear also called as otomycosis.don't worry , please meet your ENT doctor, who will examine you and give you the necessary medicines, meanwhile avoid probing the ear with ear buds and keep the ear dry/do not let water enter the ear. thanks
