Hello,
Ear drops are meant for short duration only.
The best treatment for fungal infection in the ears is cleaning by the ENT surgeon.
YOu might require oral antibiotics and decongestant and antihistaminics medication .
The most important part is to keep ear dry and avoid water entering in the ears.
Do not keep cotton ball in the ears all the time and let the air enter inside ,so that the ear gets dried up.
In doubt do reply.
