What is Otitis Media

Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, which is common in young children.

 

 Most ear infections occur in babies between the ages of 6-18 months, although anyone can get an ear infection. For unclear reasons, it is more common in boys than in girls. 

Symptoms of an ear infection in your child include-

 Pulling, tearing, or rubbing their ear High temperature (38°C or more) Irritability Eat less Restlessness at night Phlegm Running nose Being insensitive to quiet sounds Loss of balance Sometimes, in cases of middle ear infection, the eardrum will become perforated (a hole will form in it) and pus may drain from the ear. This can help relieve pain by releasing pressure on the eardrum, but it can also lead to re-infection.  

Long term ear infection

  An ear infection lasting several months is known as chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). The condition is less common, affecting 1 in 100 children and 1 in 50 adults. The most common symptom of CSOM is persistent and usually painless drainage from the affected ear. Some degree of deafness in the affected ear is also common.
