Hello,
With the question "What to do with tinnitus with ear fungus?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The medical condition you describe is a fungal infection of the outer ear canal. This is a benign disease, but has the characteristics of recurrence and causes a lot of trouble for the patient. To treat the disease completely, you need to clean your ears and apply antifungal medicine under the direct treatment of a doctor. Therefore, you should visit and monitor at the hospital for early treatment. In addition, patients who are being treated for ear fungus need to keep their ears dry, to avoid water entering the ears during this period because moisture will create favorable conditions for the fungus to reproduce again. You should limit swimming and should not use cotton swabs to clean your ears yourself.
If you still have questions about tinnitus, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
