How To Treat Fungus In The Ear?

I ve got something in my ear! I went to hospital to clean it. But the doctor said its fungus and prescribed me an ear drop candid and told no need to clean it. I used it thrice a day and its been a week but my ear is same as before. The fungus or whatever inside my ear is giving me irritation. What can I do? Please help!

Hello & welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are having otomycosis ( Fungal insection).

If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
Cleaning of ear under microscope with suction ,
continue ear drop 7 days even after getting relief to avoid recurrence &
Keep ear dry ,don’t allow water go inside while bath.

Consult ENT doctor having microscope to clean ear.

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
