Mastoiditis
Mastoiditis is the inflammation of the mastoid process, the bone located behind the ear. It usually appears as a complication of a middle ear infection that spreads to this area.
Common symptoms:
- Pain, redness, or swelling behind the ear
- Fever and general malaise
- Discharge from the ear or decreased hearing
When to see a doctor? It is a good idea to seek evaluation when an ear infection does not improve and pain or swelling appears behind the ear, especially in children.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the doctor who evaluates mastoiditis; in the pediatric population, the pediatrician usually takes part in the initial guidance. When these signs appear, the most prudent thing is for a professional to review the ear in time.
