Otitis externa is infection of external auditory canal..
Putting candid drops sometimes alone is not effective, reason for this is bcoz it depends upon the infection, you may require antibiotic, anti inflammatory and other supportive medicines sometimes because otits externa can become worse in meantime if not treated properly ..
