Ear Infections

Ear infections are a common condition that can affect people of all ages, though they are particularly prevalent in children. These infections typically occur when bacteria or viruses cause inflammation in the ear, often in the middle ear (otitis media) or outer ear (otitis externa, also known as swimmer’s ear). Symptoms of ear infections can include ear pain, fever, hearing difficulties, fluid drainage, or a sensation of fullness in the ear. If left untreated, ear infections can lead to complications such as chronic infections, hearing loss, or balance problems.

At The ENT Consultancy, we offer comprehensive care for ear infections, starting with a thorough examination to determine the cause and severity of the condition. Treatments vary depending on the type of infection and may include antibiotics, antifungal medications, or ear drops. For chronic or recurrent infections, advanced solutions like grommet insertion or surgical drainage may be recommended to prevent future episodes and protect long-term ear health.
