Hi, thanks for using HCM.
Fungal infection are treatable if managed properly.
Regular clearing of ear for derbies and Antifungal medication orally azole group of medication with local drops if ear drum is not ruptured. Burow's solution or 5% aluminum acetate solution should be used to reduce the swelling and remove the debris.
Strict management of fungal infection is necessary as it can spread to other surrounding organs.
Predisposing condition for fungal infection needs treatment : allergies, diabetes mellitus, eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis
hope this helps you.
Regards
