Hello Thanks for telling us about your health issues. Constant ear itching, swelling, and infections can be awful, especially with fibromyalgia, thyroid problems, and high blood pressure. But don’t worry we are here to help you out 😊 YOUR CONCERN Age- 66-year-old – Non-stop ear itching – Swelling after you scratch – Infections that keep coming back, with pain – Fibromyalgia – Thyroid issues – High blood pressure What Ayurveda Says In Ayurveda, this sounds like Karna Kandu with Pitta-Kapha Dushti. – Kapha makes things moist, sticky, and can cause fungus. – Pitta leads to redness, burning, pain, and infection. – Vata causes dryness and itching. Scratching a lot hurts your ear skin, which lets infections come back. Fibromyalgia and thyroid problems also weaken your immune system, so it takes longer to heal. What We Want to Do – Stop the itching – Heal your ear skin – Get rid of the fungus/bacteria – Keep it from coming back – Make your immune system stronger Ayurvedic Treatment Plan 1 Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet, twice a day, after eating Great for ongoing skin infections and itching. 2. Haridra Khanda ½ teaspoon, twice a day, with warm water Keeps allergies and swelling down. 3.Triphala Guggulu 2 tablets, twice a day, after eating Cleans your blood and stops pus from forming. 4. Mahatiktaka Kashayam 15 ml + 15 ml warm water, twice a day, before eating Clears out deep infections. Ear Care (Really Important) Neem-Sessame ear drops Mix: – Neem oil: 1 drop – Warm sesame oil: 2 drops Put 2 drops in the bad ear once a day for 7–10 days. (This kills fungus and heals the skin) Things to Do – Don’t use cotton swabs – Keep your ears dry – Use a hairdryer on cool after you shower HOME REMEDIES – Drink turmeric water every day – Put a little neem oil around your ear – Don’t scratch DIET PLAN INCLUDE – Bitter veggies – Moong dal – Warm, cooked food – Ginger-turmeric tea AVOID – Sugar – Milk, yogurt – Fried food – Cold drinks These make Kapha and fungus grow more. Your ears aren’t the only issue—your immune system, Kapha, and Pitta are all out of balance. If we treat the inside, it’ll stop for good. Wishing you care and healing, Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

-Based on your description: itchy ears, swelling that worsens when scratched, pain, and signs of infection, this could indicate otitis externa (commonly called “swimmer’s ear”) or a bacterial/viral ear infection. In older adults, ear infections can become serious if untreated, especially with swelling, pain, and possible fever. -Do now: Do not scratch – it worsens infection. Keep ear dry. See a ENT specialist for proper evaluation first

Thank you for sharing this so clearly and I understand how distressing this has been for you especially when it keeps coming back despite treatment Based on what you are describing long standing itching of the ears with swelling pain and repeated infection for more than six months this looks like a chronic inflammatory condition of the ear skin and ear canal rather than a simple infection alone The constant itching itself damages the delicate skin and once the skin barrier is broken it easily gets swollen painful and infected again At your age and with conditions like fibromyalgia thyroid imbalance and high blood pressure the body’s inflammatory response and skin healing are usually slower Thyroid imbalance often causes dryness hypersensitivity and itching of skin Fibromyalgia is associated with nerve hypersensitivity which can make itching sensations stronger even without an obvious trigger Repeated use of medicines especially drops containing antibiotics or steroids can sometimes thin the skin and worsen long term itching From an Ayurvedic point of view this is commonly seen when vata and pitta are both disturbed in the ear region Vata causes dryness irritation and nerve sensitivity Pitta causes inflammation swelling redness pain and infection When both remain aggravated for a long time the ear skin becomes very reactive even to touch and scratching worsens the cycle The first and most important step is to stop mechanical irritation Avoid inserting fingers cotton buds hairpins or tissues into the ear even when itching is severe Keep ears dry after bathing Do not pour oil water or home remedies inside the ear without guidance Internally calming inflammation and hypersensitivity is essential Along with your regular medicines for blood pressure and thyroid you can usually take Gandhak rasayan 1 tablet twice daily after food Kaishore guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after food These help reduce chronic skin inflammation infection tendency and allergic response If digestion is weak or you have acidity then avipattikar churna half teaspoon at night with warm water can help reduce internal heat which often reflects as ear itching For local care only external application should be done unless ear drum status is known Apply a very small amount of sterile medicated oil like jatyadi oil or plain coconut oil gently around the outer ear and ear opening skin once daily Do not push it inside This helps heal cracks and reduces itching Diet plays a big role Avoid very spicy fried sour fermented foods Excess tea coffee sugar and packaged snacks Increase warm cooked foods vegetables soaked almonds adequate water intake Because this problem is chronic and recurrent I strongly advise one proper ENT examination to rule out fungal infection eczema allergic otitis or canal narrowing especially since swelling and pain occur repeatedly Once we know the exact condition treatment becomes more targeted and safer You are not doing anything wrong and this is not a simple hygiene issue Chronic ear itching is very common in older adults with thyroid and nerve sensitivity issues With the right internal support skin healing and avoidance of irritation this can definitely be brought under control If you want you can tell me whether the itching is more inside the ear or mainly outside and whether there is discharge dryness or flakes so I can guide you more precisely

HELLO, अगर आपको 6 महीने से ज्यादा समय से खुजली, सूजन और बार-बार संक्रमण हो रहा है, तो यह एक क्रॉनिक कान की समस्या हो सकती है, जैसे कि - क्रॉनिक ओटाइटिस एक्सटर्ना (बाहरी कान की सूजन) - कान की नली का एक्जिमा/डर्मेटाइटिस - फंगल कान का संक्रमण (खासकर अगर बहुत खुजली हो) - एलर्जिक या ऑटोइम्यून प्रवृत्ति (थायरॉइड विकारों के साथ अधिक आम) आयुर्वेद में, इस स्थिति को अक्सर जोड़ा जाता है - कर्ण कंडू (कान में खुजली) - कर्ण शूल (सूजन) - पित्त रक्त असंतुलन के साथ वात का सूखापन क्रॉनिक खुजली जो दर्दनाक हो जाती है, यह संकेत देती है - पहला चरण= वात का सूखापन -> खुजली - दूसरा चरण= पित्त की सूजन-> सूजन+ दर्द - तीसरा चरण= कफ-> डिस्चार्ज/संक्रमण इसलिए उपचार को चाहिए - सूजन को कम करें - खुजली को रोकें - संक्रमण को रोकें - आंतरिक असंतुलन को ठीक करें आंतरिक दवा 1) रक्त और पित्त संतुलन - महामंजिष्ठादि कषाय= 15ml गर्म पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार भोजन के बाद = क्रॉनिक सूजन और त्वचा संबंधित खुजली में मदद करता है - गुडुची घन वटी = 2 टैबलेट्स दिन में दो बार भोजन के बाद = एंटी इंफ्लेमेटरी, इम्यून मॉड्यूलेटर - खदिरारिष्ट= 15ml समान पानी के साथ दोपहर के भोजन के बाद = क्रॉनिक खुजली विकारों में सहायक 2) बार-बार संक्रमण की प्रवृत्ति के लिए - गंधक रसायन= 1 टैबलेट दिन में दो बार भोजन के बाद = क्रॉनिक त्वचा + खुजली + हल्के संक्रमण में बहुत उपयोगी 3) फाइब्रोमायल्जिया और वात संतुलन के लिए क्योंकि फाइब्रोमायल्जिया उच्च वात को दर्शाता है - अश्वगंधा कैप्सूल= 500mg रात में स्थानीय उपचार कान की नली के अंदर खरोंच न करें। यह सूजन को बढ़ाता है 1) जेंटल ईयर ऑयल (अगर कोई सक्रिय डिस्चार्ज नहीं है) गर्म (गुनगुना, गर्म नहीं) - बिल्व तैल रात में 2 बूंदें 5-7 दिनों के लिए इस्तेमाल न करें अगर - मवाद का डिस्चार्ज - गंभीर दर्द - कान का पर्दा फटा हुआ हो 2) अगर सक्रिय संक्रमण के साथ सूजन है तेल की जगह, उपयोग करें - पतला नीम का काढ़ा में डूबा हुआ स्टेराइल कॉटन - केवल बाहरी कान पर रखें (गहराई में नहीं) आहार - गर्म पानी - हल्दी वाला दूध अगर कोई बलगम नहीं है - पकी हुई सब्जियां - लौकी, तुरई - धनिया पानी बचें - दही - ठंडा खाना - किण्वित खाना - अधिक नमक - बहुत मसालेदार खाना - तला हुआ खाना जीवनशैली - ईयरबड्स या नुकीली चीजें डालने से बचें - नहाने के बाद कानों को सूखा रखें - तनाव को प्रबंधित करें (फाइब्रोमायल्जिया + खुजली के लिए महत्वपूर्ण) - रात में पैरों पर हल्का तेल मालिश (वात को कम करें) सुधार के लिए कितना समय लगेगा? सही प्रबंधन के साथ - खुजली 2-3 हफ्तों में सुधरती है - सूजन 1-2 हफ्तों में कम होती है - क्रॉनिक प्रवृत्ति 2-3 महीनों में सुधरती है पालन करें उम्मीद है कि यह मददगार हो सकता है धन्यवाद डॉ. मैत्री आचार्य
