Otomycosis

Otomycosis is a fungal infection of
the ear canal that often occurs due to Aspergillus niger,
A. fumigatus or Candida albicans.It is seen in hot and humid
climate of tropical and subtropical countries. Secondary
fungal growth is also Seen in patients using topical antibjotics
for treatment of otitis externa or middle ear suppuration.
The clinical features of otomycosis include: intense
itching, discomfort or pain in the ear, watery discharge
with a musty odour, and ear blockage. The fungal mass
may appear white, brown or black and has been likened
to a wet piece of filter paper.
Examined with an otoscope, A. niger appears as blackheaded
filamentous growth, A. fumigatus, pale blue or
green; and Candida as white or creamy deposit. Meatal
skin appears sodden, red and oedematous.
Treatment consists of thorough ear toilet to remove all
discharge and epithelial debris which are conducive to the
growth of fungus. It can be done by syringing, suction or
mopping. S pec ific antifungal agent, can be applied.
Nystatin (100,000 units/ml of propylene glycol) is ffective
aga inst Candida. Other broad spectrum antifungal
agenrs include clotrimazo le and povidone iodine. 2% sa licylic
acid in alcohol is also effec tive. It is a keratolytic
agent which removes superficial layers of epidermis, dnd
along with that, the fungal mycelia growing into them.
Antifungal treatment should be continued for a week
even after apparent cure to avoid recurrences. Ear must
be kept dry. Bacterial infections are often associated with
otomycosis, and treatment with an antibiotic/steroid preparation
helps to reduce inflammation and oedema and thus
permitting better penetration of antifungal agents.

  2. COMPLETE CURE TO TINNITUS: I had tinnitus in both ears for fifteen years with a high pitched two tone sound, the noises are constant and have learned to ignore the ringing. Later, another sound was added, a deep tone that has a sporadic rhythm, that mimics human speech. It varies from soft and muted, to painfully clear, and loud. Have try sound machines, ear plugs, my hearing aid, and medication all to no avail rather I have a difficult time sleeping. Lately I was directed to a Doctor called William on internet who provided solution to the problem. Do not be discourage, dr williams product is a permanent cure to Tinnitus. Contact him with this email (drwilliams098675@gmail.com)

  3. Dr Williams,his medicine was extremely helpful to me. I have had tinnitus for 7 years now , and my doctor told me to have a tinnitus sugary . I am so glad I have found Dr Williams medicine (as I was surfing the net for a solution and saw a recommendation for it on a women's health forum early this year). I have felt so empowered by the knowledge you have given me and I quickly self diagnosed the individual cause of my tinnitus and armed with your clear instructions, I was finally able to beat this monster, in less than 4 weeks of using dr Williams medication. 9 weeks before the tinnitus surgery was due, I asked for a scan and it was clear that my tinnitus were gone,you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help.

    Thank you, thank you , thank you. dr williams "

  5. CURE TO TINNITUS WITHOUT SIDE EFFECT: I was diagnosed with tinnitus and ears watts. My tinnitus hurt so bad that I was usually in bed for about 8 hours and soreness killers (even prescription strength) don't stop the loudness (except to knock me out) even if I take triple the dosage. Every night that come to pass it always louder and louder and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe me countless pain control pills and pain medication with no positive result. until recently I contacted a Doctor who put an end to this problem. If you are having problem with tinnitus or any ears problem contact Dr. William for advice and possible solution without any side effect (drwilliams098675@gmail.com)

    I felt so awful when I was diagnosed with tinnitus. I felt like my life was ruined since the Dr told me that there was no permanent cure. Upon all of my constant research, I stumbled upon Dr Williams blog and articles of his good work that have been published. YOU ARE AMAZING. You have given me hope. This tinnitus have cause me so mush pain that my life was deteriorating.Dr Williams You are so courageous and I don’t know if I’ve ever looked up to someone so much. Being famous for writing is my dream and I also have always wanted to make a difference in the world somehow. You are doing both and I think its the deepest thing ever. The world needs people like you to end the tinnitus stigma. Never stop being you and thank you for being a voice for us all,you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for his product.

  8. I have been in the tinnitus community for a while now and I have experience what you are going though with tinnitus , I do know people that have got
    tinnitus from having their implants done. Ringing in the ear after an implant can go away on its own, but that is BS of what the mouth and jaw specialist said. I have definitely seen and heard of a connection between tinnitus and teeth and mouth. There is a treatment for ringing ears and if you are
    interested you can contact Dr William herbal remedies that what I take that stop the ringing in my ear that was really driving me crazy, don't Lose hope .,I have found a solution for my fellow citizens . If you haven't I would suggest trying Dr William herbal supplement. Again, this is a thing that takes time and usually requires time and patience for it to work WITH no side effects. But I'm not hear to sell you the product, I'm only hear to tell you that it works, but it is a journey and can be difficult. I hope at this point it want away on it own. Good luck . his email address drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product
