Ear Infection

Ear infections are a frequent occurrence, particularly among young children. When bacteria or viruses enter, inflammation and accumulation of fluids can result.

Ear infections can be divided into different types, depending on the part of the ear that is affected and the resulting symptoms.

Our doctors can discuss your symptoms and, if suitable, identify the type of ear infection you have. If deemed appropriate, they can prescribe the medication required to treat it.

Infections affecting the outer ear, also called Otitis Externa or "swimmer's ear," result in inflammation, swelling, and discomfort.

Common symptoms encompass:

• Severe ear pain.
  
  
• Itching sensation within the ear.
  
  
• Discharge of fluid or pus from the ear.
  
  
• Temporary or intermittent hearing impairment.

Treatment for this type of infection typically involves prescription medication, necessitating a doctor's visit to facilitate this process.

Inner ear infections, also known as Labyrinthitis, can pose a significant threat, impacting both your balance and hearing. While symptoms can be pretty severe in the initial week, they typically improve within a few weeks.

Signs of inner ear infections may include:

• Impaired balance.
  
  
• Dizziness.
  
  
• Vertigo.
  
  
• Hearing impairment.
  
  

These infections can result from either viral or bacterial causes, and if you suspect you have one, it's crucial to seek medical attention. Improperly managed inner ear infections can lead to severe consequences, including hearing loss.
