How To Treat Fungal Infection In Ears?

I recently had a fungal infection in both ears. According to the Dr. that has cleared up. But now I have a dripping of mostly clear stuff. It causes severe itching so bad that I sometimes make them bleed a little from scratching. They often itch terribly even without the dripping. Is there something I can do to relieve the itching?

Hi,
Put anti-fungal drops in ears regularly after proper cleaning the ears.
Avoid water entering in the ears while taking shower and after shower, clean the ears with cotton buds.
for itching you may take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl.
Ok and take care.
