How Can Earache Be Treated?

Hi doctor..my mom had fungal infection in one of her ears. It was cleaned up when we consulted a doctor and he suggested clotrimazole 1% drops. Initially(for 2-3 days) she was ok with the usage of those drops but after that she is suffering from pain again..especially after applying those drops it s getting a bit more pain. Kindly suggest what would it might be and how to proceed.
