2017 Aspergillus ear infection was treated x9 months with varying (wrong) antibiotics until specialist + Rx itraconazole healed a 25% TM hole to pinpoint. Same condition now: itching, draining, pain, etc. Specialist, 4 hours one way, cannot see me x10 days, cannot prescribe till seen, of course. Meantime ideas? Prep H? Monistat? Other?

You seem to be suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media with fungal infection of the ear canal. You may need to take antibiotics and antifungal medicines and drops for few days. You need to keep your ear dry
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
