Medical treatment of otomycosis can involve topical medications, generally antifungals or oral antifungal agents. Oral medications provide better coverage if there are concerns that the infection may spread beneath the skin, or if the patient has chronic conditions that make fungal infections harder to treat. Before treatment, the doctor will usually provide an extensive cleaning of the ear to remove as much of the surface infection as possible before treatment.
