Abstract
Otomycosis Is a common condition encountered in a general otolaryngology clinic setting so, We conducted a study with an aim to determine the frequency, common presenting symptoms, predisposing factors and spectra of fungi. Where we found that Patient with Otomycosis presents with nonspecific symptoms like pruritis, discomfort and pain in the ear, aural fullness, tinnitus, hearing impairment, and sometimes discharge, and also recurrence was seen in some cases which is very frustrating for both the patient and doctor as it frequently requires long-term treatment and follow-up. Mainstay of treatment involves removal of debris, thorough toileting of the external ear and the use of antimycotic agents. Summary: Otomycosis is a very frustrating clinical entity for both the otolaryngologist as well as for patient. So educating people about the predisposing factors, risks, cause and care is an important concern to be addressed.
