You need to meet an ENT Specialist (use the practo app to select a good doctor)near you who will suction out all visible fungal debris out of your ears. He will prescribe you antifungal ear drops to be used for almost one month. You may need to visit his clinic weekly to get your ears cleaned out as otomycosis is a persistant disease.
