Hi,
Ear plugging for 3 months is a long time to have no proper diagnosis although you have been told by someone about some white material on ear drum. The most probable causes as per your history are one of the following:
- White layering fungus
- Wax
- Foreign body like cotton from ear bud
- Middle
ear infection that caused dried up pus flake
Hence, I would advise you the following as the treatment may differ a bit from cause to cause.
- Consult an ENT Surgeon for proper clinical evaluation, examination by endoscope to know the exact diagnosis
- Anti-fungal drops with cleaning if there is fungus
- Removal wax if present
- Pus culture and sensitivity if there is pus
- Course of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant
- Once the cause is found the treatment would be specific and effective
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
