Ear fungal infection
2.5 weeks back, after getting up in morning I felt my ear blocked, thought it is due to ear wax, for that I bought clearwax(cipla) drops but nothing came on ear bud, still the blockage sensation continued. After 2-3 days, felt itching, little pain & attimes water discharge.Understanding the seriousness, I went & consulted a ENT specialist nearby & was diagnosed with ear fungal infection. Audiometry test was too taken which came under normal range.The consulted doctor removed fungus & prescribed antibiotic, anti-allergic, vitamin & 2 ear drops for 3-4 days. After taking medication, got relieved from pain, itching sensation & water discharge, still I could feel my ear blocked & ringing sensation. I went back on 6th day to the doctor, he again removed left fungal matter & prescribed another antibiotic(5days), same anti allergic(7days),vitamins(7 days) & 2 ear drop for 30 days. Even after completing my 7 days of medication, this is my 10th day I still feel my ear blocked. What should I do

Fungal infection can’t be cured in few days of anti fungal treatment. Even a spore of fungus left will recur after few days. Avoid entry of water into the ear. Clean the ear with spirit TDS Clotrin ear drop 2-3 drops TDS for 10 days and further cleaning of ear with spirit only for another 7 days
