Antifungal ear drops include fluconazole ear drops, sodium bicarbonate ear drops, and boric acid alcohol ear drops. In daily life, avoid getting water in the ears; during treatment, avoid spicy or irritating foods, and refrain from cleaning the ear canal with inappropriate tools to prevent interference with healing and worsening of symptoms. Additionally, if the entire skin surface of the external auditory canal is moist, patients may use boric acid ear drops to help keep the ear canal dry, which facilitates recovery from this condition.
