When considering Ayurvedic perspectives on your symptoms, your stomach cramps, diarrhea, and changes in stool consistency could be linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. These imbalances can affect agni (digestive fire), leading to digestive issues and irregular bowel movements. Sporadic changes in stool consistency, such as from sinking to floating, may indicate malabsorption or undigested food.

To address this, focusing on balancing your digestive fire might be necessary. Consider starting with a simple remedy like Triphala. Take 1 teaspoon with warm water before bed to help regulate your digestive system. Cumin, coriander, and fennel teas post meals may also be beneficial to soothe digestive discomfort and support digestion. Eating lighter, warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, avoiding raw or heavy foods can help support the digestive process.

For your ear condition, external peeling and fungal infections indicate possible Kapha and Pitta imbalance on a local scale. Keep the ear dry as moisture aggravates fungi. You might want to try a natural remedy like Aloe Vera gel for soothing. Apply a small quantity around the external ear (avoid deep insertion) for its cooling and healing properties. Ensure to clean your ears gently and regularly to prevent moisture build-up.

In both cases, limiting stress and ensuring proper hydration is crucial. Traditional warming spices such as ginger and turmeric can be incorporated into meals to maintain digestive health and support the immune system.

If the diarrhea persists beyond a few days or you note any additional alarming signs like blood, significant dehydration or intense pain, a consultation with a healthcare professional is critical. For the ear fungal infection, continuous discomfort despite remedies or interventions should prompt revisiting an ENT specialist for tailored treatment. Balancing home remedies with professional advice offers the best pathway to recovery.

While these suggestions are based on Ayurvedic principles, addressing chronic or severe symptoms needs personalised medical consultation to avoid underlying complications.

Your symptoms of stomach cramps and diarrhea seem to point towards a potential imbalance in your digestive system, which in Ayurveda, might align with an excess of Vata dosha, coupled possibly with Pitta dosha. Your stool’s floating nature indicates improper digestion and assimilation, possibly due to weak agni (digestive fire).

First, focus on your diet. Opt for cooked, warm meals rather than raw foods. Include ginger tea with meals to strengthen your agni. Boil a slice of ginger in water and sip it before meals. You might also consider a simple diet of khichdi, which is gentle on the stomach and helps balance doshas. Avoid foods that aggravate Vata like cold drinks, dry or fried foods.

For the chronic ear infection and skin peeling, especially if fungal in nature, neem oil can serve as a helpful external application due to its antifungal properties. Slightly warm the oil and gently apply it around the ear area, but refrain from putting anything inside the ear canal. Additionally, turmeric internally has strong anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal effects; mix half a teaspoon of turmeric in warm milk and drink daily.

However, prolonged ear infections can sometimes indicate deeper issues or secondary infections, so it would be prudent to consult a healthcare professional for an underlying cause or if it worsens. Consistent ear infections can cause structural damage or lead to hearing problems if left untreated.

In both cases, ensure hydration is maintained through warm water or herbal teas, and if symptoms persist or escalate, seek professional medical attention to rule out any serious conditions. Balancing lifestyle with proper rest can aid overall healing as part of a holistic approach.
