Ear Infections & Pain

Ear Infections & Pain

Ear infections and ear pain are among the most common ENT complaints affecting both children and adults. While some ear infections resolve on their own, many require proper medical evaluation and treatment to prevent complications such as hearing loss or chronic ear disease. Understanding the type and cause of your ear infection is essential for effective, long-lasting relief.

Symptoms

• Sharp or dull pain inside the ear
• Feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
• Discharge or fluid draining from the ear
• Reduced or muffled hearing
• Itching inside the ear canal
• Fever, especially in children
• Ringing or buzzing sounds in the ear

Types

• Otitis Media: Infection of the middle ear, commonly seen in children, often following a cold or throat infection
• Otitis Externa (Swimmer’s Ear): Infection of the outer ear canal, usually caused by water exposure or excess moisture
• Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media: A persistent middle ear infection with eardrum perforation and recurring discharge
• Fungal Ear Infection: Caused by fungal growth in the ear canal, leading to intense itching and discharge

Treatment and Process

Treatment begins with a careful ear examination using an otoscope to identify the type and severity of the infection. Based on the diagnosis, treatment may include prescribed ear drops, oral antibiotics, ear cleaning under medical supervision, or minor procedures to drain fluid. Chronic or recurrent cases may require surgical intervention such as myringotomy or tympanoplasty. All procedures are performed with patient comfort and safety as the top priority.
