Fungal Infection
I have been diagnosed with otomycosis in left ear. Ear is swollen with inflammation. ENT doctor prescribed antibiotics, pain killer & anti fungal drops. Also cleaned the ear with syringing and blockage had improved. But now the ear seems to be again blocked & white pus like substance is visible in outer ear that feels extremely uncomfortable. Swelling has not improved & ear drops don't seem to go inside either. What should be done in this case?
