Fungal ear Infection: Suspected Fungal Ear Infection or infestation needs to be seen by ENT to debride and clear under the microscrope. We don't generally use "antfungal" drops to clear this type of infection in US. Also, do not insert any instrument or even a cotton tip applicator into your ear.

Clean the canal: Fungal infections of the ear canal are like other fungal skin infections, athletes foot, jock itch, etc. the key to resolution is to have the ear cleaned and then apply anti fungal medicines to the affected area like lotrimin (clotrimazole) or tolnaftate, which are both over the counter, but the debris needs to be removed first. See an ENT. Anti fungal drops frequently used following cleaning in US
