Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding swelling and itching in ears. Though you are a patient of meniere's disease.

According to your clinical history it appears as now you have developed otitis externa. This otitis externa may be allergic, bacterial or fungal that may be rule out by clinical examination and investigations. So piease consult your ENT doctor for the same. Till you are waiting for appointment with your specialist you may put ear drop containing antibiotic + antifungal + steroid to get some relief.

Regards.
