Fungus Infection In Ear?
Ive been having a discomfort in my ear, as if it is stuck, so i went to a doc and was told that i have fungus infection in the ear. Is fungus ear infection something common? Im 22 years old. Anyone else here have this? I also notice that my ear has become over sensitive to sounds, just a slight sound seems to be very loud for me.
I think I may have a systemic fungal infection. How can I find out? If I do, what do I do? My ears are bothering me and the ENT I went to today said "there's nothing wrong," though I told him they hurt and pop and I have ringing constantly. I don't think he really considered a fungal condition, though I told him I had been diagnosed with it previously. I also seem to have a vaginal yeast problem, so I'm wondering if it's whole body, like you say. Help!
Fungal infections are usually caused by eating things that promote overgrowth in your system of Yeast, or being on medicines that kill friendly bacteria that keep fungus in check (Anti-biotics KILL friendly bacteria needed to keep Yeast at the proper levels.). Many diets these days only contribute to fungus growth. Sugar, for instance, is fungi's FAVORITE food! It produces alcohol in your blood as waste too. To see how a particular food or substance is related to Candida - fungus infections, Google: (food/substance) - Candida or the name of the fungus and the substance/food item with a hyphen and hit enter. As always, don't believe everything you read right off....RESEARCH!!
I've seen alot of suggestions of different antibiotics to use for Fungus in this thread. You NEVER use antibiotics to kill fungus. In fact, patients who've had alot of antibiotics are at GREATER risk of getting fungus and parasite overgrowth. It was a mix of anti-inflammatories and antibiotics that pushed my body over the edge. I ended up septic and on the verge of menengitis within a few months of my whole body feeling sick.
Check out coconut oil...Extra Virgin, Unrefined. Look it up on the internet. It's helped me alot. And I got myself doing a stage 4 Candida diet before I even managed to find a doctor who would REALLY help me with this. I believe that and the anti-candida supplements I got were what kept me out of the hospital this time. My doctor tells me I'm very fortunate to be functioning as well as I am. My body is still fighting very hard but doing better with the whole food diet and eliminating sugars, processed foods and yeast foods has helped alot. They figure I've had the overgrowth problem for possibly over 20 years and I've heard it said it takes a month for every year you've been infected, to effectivly get rid of it. And that's IF you stick to your diet, meds and supplements!!
You also have NO idea how infected you are with it until you can get proper tests done. Find a doctor who will REALLY help you with getting the PROPER tests done. Many doctors, unfortunately, don't even acknowledge Fungus is such a problem!!! It is invasive AND it can go systemic, meaning eventually it can bore itself into your other body tissues and organs....like it has with me. It will grow in you, just like it grows anywhere.......just like athlete's foot!!! In fact, many forms of athlete's foot is a sign of Candida infection too!
Most important, don't give up!!

This thread is offering some good information. I may be experiencing the same thing as everyone else. I believe my situation is due to performing oral sex. I have learned my lession. I have to make an appointment this week.
I have chronic fungal ear infections and I am told that I carry a yeast infection constantly in my throat. I am told this is from esophageal reflux and I am being advised to get an operation called Nissen-Fundoplication which will shore up my esophageal reflux which will prevent constant acid in my throat, trouble swallowing,GERD, etc. I am trying to really make sure I need this surgery even though it is laporoscopic surgery. It is still surgery so I am afraid. How do I know that this is what's causing my ear infections??
