ear fungus treatment - #14179
I am dealing with this really annoying issue right now, and I can't seem to find any decent help! A couple of weeks ago, I started getting this odd itching in my ear, and I thought maybe it was just dry skin or something, but then it got worse. I noticed this weird, kinda smelly discharge and I realized I have an infection or something going on, possibly even ear fungus?! I went to see my doc, and he mentioned that it could be ear fungus, which freaked me out! He just told me to use some over-the-counter drops but I wanted more than that. Can anyone share their experience with ear fungus treatment? Did you need prescription meds, or did home remedies work? It feels like the ear fungus treatment isnt really clear-cut, and I’m starting to wonder if I should ask for a second opinion. The itching is driving me crazy, and it's really uncomfortable. I feel like I'm stuck in this loop of trying to clean it and making it worse. Just want to know what actually helps, what worked for you guys? Should I be worried about it spreading or causing more issues? Looking for some advice on effective ear fungus treatment. Thanks!
