Ear pain and tunning sound in ear and itching in ear. Symptoms disappears after taking tablet prescribed and ears cleaned. However reoccures after few days.

You should go for proper culture and sensitivity test of the discharge. Use antifungal eardrops. You should also go for proper examination of ear to rule out any other pathology like perforation of the drum. Check your blood sugar levels.
