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 have never heard of a middle ear fungal infection. Heard of an outer ear fungal infection. So I can't answer you question,

sorry

Which one would be best for a middle ear fungus infection.....Oh, by the way.....I know you're not going to believe this but I've noticed that when I swallow, I can hear my "swallow" from my Eustacian Tubes...........hence, I'm not as dizzy anymore.........also, I've been drinking a concotion of Heinz Apple Cider vinegar twice a day and making a vapor with the vinegar and inhaling it once a day....the part you won't believe,,,it's seemed to have cleared up my problem to a certain degree.....is this possible?

You don't get ani-fungal drops for a middle ear infection. You get ear drops for an outer ear infection which. The outer involves the Auricle, (ear lobe) & ear canal.  

If you have a middle ear infection, then you would more than likely take an antibiotic, keflex, omnicef, sometimes Cipro (not my favorite)

If one gets ear drops, antifungal, for the middle ear infection,,,,how does the fluid from the drops get passed the ear drum and into the middle ear?  Also, I've been using a vapor of Vinegar Cider and it seems to help out a little.....what would that mean.??

Ok, so how does one get rid of them?  Also, would they make one lightheaded or slightly dizzy?  I've already tried antibotics for bacteria, and something that cost me an arm and a leg for virus, so what's in store for Fungus?
