No Improvement With Clotrimazole For Itching In Ear, What Ear Drops Can I Use?

Hi,
I have a concern with my right ear. It itches a lot. A doctor prescribed me sodium bicarbonate, another one prescribed me clotrimazole saying that its a fungal infection. When i use clotrimazole, my ear continues to itch. Could you please advise if i should consult another doctor or any ear drops that i may use?

Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Please dont get panic. Be calm.
If there is fungal infection it will take timeto resolve .
Along with theses ear drops you should take some medicines for systemic effect.
An antiallergic with antifungal will be better for more help in treatment earlier and its effectivness.
And keep your ear clean and clean it with spirit before applying ear drop.
If not get releive in 3-4 days consult other ENT Doctor.
Hope this help you.
Best wishes for health of yours...
