General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Itching can sometimes be a symptom of a new infection or related to an allergy affecting the ear.
If it is an allergic reaction then the use of an oral antihistamine would be helpful.

If an infection is present then you may need another round of medication. Fungal infections of the ear can cause itching.

I hope this helps
