Otitis

Otitis is an inflammatory-infectious process of the middle ear or outer ear and may occur as an acute episode or it may be latent and chronic.

Types. This infection is bothersome and can be painful. It is divided into two main types: external otitis and otitis media. Otitis media is subdivided into acute otitis media and serous otitis media.

We recommend visiting a specialist for a full hearing exam.

Treatment. It is individualised for each case and includes ear drops, antibiotics (oral and / or injected), and also anti-inflammatories or analgesics.
