Ear drops for fungal infection - #12567

Aasha

I am really worried about this ear issue I’ve been dealing with for the past few weeks. It started with some itching that I thought was just from swimming but then it got worse! My ear began to feel blocked, and I noticed a strange discharge. Went to the doctor, and they mentioned it could be a fungal infection. I’ve never had anything like this before. They suggested using ear drops for fungal infection, but honestly, I don’t know much about them. Are ear drops for fungal infection actually effective? I mean, I don’t want to be putting something in my ear that might not even work or worse, make things worse! I've read some stuff online, but everythung is kinda vague. How long do the drops usually take to work? And are there any side effects I should be aware of? Like, do I need to limit my water exposure while using them? I just hope this doesn't turn into some long-term problem. It's super uncomfortable, and I just want to feel better. Are there any particular brands you would recommend or things to avoid? I could really use some advice here—thanks!
