fungus ear drops - #12750

Aasha

I am really at my wits end here! For the last couple of weeks, I've had this stubborn ear issue that won’t go away. I went to my doc, and after looking around, they said it might be a fungal infection—which totally freaked me out! They suggested using fungus ear drops, which I didn’t even know existed until now. I guess I was just thinking of regular drops. So, I got this prescription for fungus ear drops and started using them. The first couple of days, I thought they helped a bit, but then I felt like my ear was still plugging up, like I had a strange pressure or something. It's just so annoying! I did some googling about fungus ear drops and there's so much information, but I still wonder, are fungus ear drops really effective? Like, how long should I expect before things start clearing up? Also, I read that using them for longer than the doctor said might be bad—I don’t wanna make things worse! Anyone know if it's common for fungus ear drops to cause more irritation? And what if it doesn’t clear up and I end up needing something stronger? Just kinda worried right now, you know? Any advice would really help me out!
