I had just gone to urgent care to get my earwax washed out because it was blocking my hearing so now I was told I have fungus on my eardrums and its causing hearing blockage so the dr prescribed cortisporin otic drops but I don t want to take it because of the side effects and i also feel it could cause my fungus to grow...what can I do naturally to cure it while I m waiting for a referral to see an ENT dr?
Hi, To prevent fungus to grow keep your ears dry. Clean the ear with cotton buds. Avoid entering water while taking shower. Put cotton plugs in the ears while taking shower. Remember that wetness in the ears aggravates fungal infection. Meanwhile put anti-fungal drops in the ears. Ok and take care.
