What to do if your ears are itchy?

What do you do when your ears itch?

There are people who clean their ears daily with cotton swabs or ear picks, but what if the cause of an itchy ear is a fungal infection inside the ear?

Recently, my ears have been unbearably itchy, so I visited an ENT specialist and was surprised to hear an unexpected story.ㅜㅜ

Dried skin cells and secretions from the ceruminous glands are mixed together, and frequent use of cotton swabs caused injuries, allowing bacteria (fungi) to invade, leading to otomycosis.

It is said to mainly occur when immune function is disrupted.

I received a prescription for ear drops and oral medication.

Everyone, be careful when using ear picks, and keep eating foods and exercising regularly to boost your immunity~^^
