A member asked:
Can fungal lung infection affect my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but less likely: Possible but depends on what kind of fungal infection you have and what are your risk factors. If you are immunocompromised or have disease that affects ciliary function/ mucous clearance then i will say yes. You will need to see ENT and get culture.
