Topical (eye drops) is safe to be used, even oral steroids also are quite safe if not used for long and high dose.

You received enough treatment for ringworm. Better to consult a dermatologist. In place of itraconazole, terbinafine can be taken with proper investigations and follow up. Keep the area dry, clean and maintain hygiene.

My ent said that both of my ears have fungal infection. That's why she prescribed ciprofloxacin dexamethasone otic drops mixed with 10 drops of clotrimazole 1% topical solution drops, 3 times a day for 2 weeks. However, our local drug store can't mix the 2 drugs together. Is there any way I can administer these drugs in my ears without mixing it and can you tell me how?

Use candid ear drops, they will serve the same purpose, also I hope the ent has used suction to remove the fungal flakes.

Asked for male, 28 years old from Mumbai

I would like to know how much ML should be the quantity of sperm, coz for me it's around 3 to 5 ml. I think it's low. Is it right. Can any one say.

Dr. Rushali Angchekar93%(85851 ratings)

Homeopath•Sindhudurg

The average volume of semen produced at ejaculation is 2 to 5 ml. Volumes consistently less than 1.5 ml (hypospermia) or more than 5.5 ml (hyperspermia) are probably abnormal. Lower volumes may occur after very frequent ejaculation and higher volumes are seen after prolonged abstinence.
