Bhopal ENT Clinic provides comprehensive Treatment and support for Otitis media
Medication
We may prescribe antibiotics to deal with the bacterial infection associated with otitis media. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help alleviate pain and fever. Ear drops may also be recommended to relieve pain and swelling.
Ear tubes
In cases of recurrent or chronic otitis media, especially in children, ear tubes (tympanostomy tubes) may be recommended. These small tubes inserted into the eardrum help to equalize pressure in the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup, reducing the risk of future infections.

We provide comprehensive guidance on home care measures to effectively manage the symptoms of otitis media. This may include applying warm compresses to the ear, maintaining proper hygiene, avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke, and ensuring adequate rest and hydration.

FAQs
Otitis media often develops due to bacterial or viral infections. These infections can result from a cold, flu, or other respiratory illness. Factors such as allergies, sinus infections, and environmental irritants may also contribute to its development.
Common symptoms of otitis media include ear pain, pressure or fullness in the ear, hearing loss, drainage from the ear, fever, irritability (especially in children), and difficulty sleeping. In chronic cases, symptoms may be less severe but can persist for longer periods.
Children, particularly those under the age of three, are more susceptible to otitis media due to the smaller size and more horizontal position of their Eustachian tubes, which are responsible for draining fluid from the middle ear. However, otitis media can affect people of any age.
Otitis media is typically diagnosed through a physical examination of the ear by a healthcare professional. This may involve using an otoscope to inspect the ear canal and eardrum. In some cases, further tests, such as tympanometry or a hearing test, may be conducted to assess the extent of the condition.
If left untreated, otitis media can lead to a variety of complications, including hearing loss, holes in the eardrum, chronic or recurring infections, and, in rare cases, more serious conditions such as mastoiditis or meningitis.
