STOP the antibiotics! They will actually worsen your fungal infection. You need to meet an ENT Surgeon to microsuction out the fungal debris out from your ears. You will need multiple such visits to be finally free of the fungus. Your ENT Surgeon will prescribe antifungal-analgesic ear drops for about a month.
