Question: Hello Doctor, My name is XXXX and I am from XXXXXXX My right ear has been itching a lot lately. I did try using warm oil to curb the itching but after a spell of relief, the itching comes right back. What could be the reason for this? Can I use Candibiotic Ear drops?

Brief Answer:
Mostly having Otomycosis, put Candibiotic ear dro[s.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXX,
Thanks for posting query to HCM.
Read your query and understood your problem.
In my opinion there might be having two reasons giving rise itching in external ears.
One most common cause is having fungal infection and another is having wax deposition in ears.
Try not to use any buds to remove wax. Use ear drops which will liquify wax.
On Otoscope one finds a thin layer of white substance attached to ear wall and on ear drum.
You can use Candibiotic ear drops, 1-2 drops 2-3 times a day.
Keep ears dry.
I hope, I answered your query.
If you have further query or clarification, please write back.
Ok and take care.
