White ear fungus
My mother is having a white fungus like thing in her ear, she got to know it when she was trying yo clean it with a tin wood pick , she heard some different sound... we checked with torch and got to see this white thing... i shall attach the picture which is not so clear becouse it was taken with mobile camera.
I am avoiding to take her to nearby doctor to be safe and follow social distancing as she is I already having diebetes... for diebetes she ia taking Gemer 0.5 daily 1 in morning and half in evening before meal.
Please suggest some drops or remedies for this problem.

If she's not having any pain or ear discharge then chances of otomycosis is less. And what I make out of your picture it seems like it is ear drum.
