Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection In Ear
I have been diagnosed with an fungal infection of the ear. I have been taking both amoxicillin, drops of the cortisone acetic acid, and a fungal drop. I have been taken all the medicine as directed and have been having some improvements. Now after 2 weeks of treatment my hearing in the infected ear has not improved beyond intermittent hearing. Should I go and see an ENT? Because I have been noticing that the disadvantage has been replaced by a more puss like mixed with blood fluid.
