During the test, a healthcare provider collects a sample of the ear discharge or plug using a sterile instrument. Risks include mild discomfort or minor injury to the ear canal. After the test, there’s typically no special care required. Results show the presence of fungi under a microscope, aiding in diagnosis. Conditions like diabetes, weakened immunity, or prolonged antibiotic use can affect test accuracy and results.
