Otitis
Otitis is inflammation or infection of the ear, which can affect the ear canal or the middle ear. It is very common in childhood, although it can occur at any age.
Common symptoms:
- Ear pain
- A feeling of a plugged ear or reduced hearing
- Sometimes discharge or fever
- In young children, irritability or crying when touching the ear
When should you seek care? Severe ear pain, fever, or fluid draining from the ear are reasons to seek care, especially in children.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional dedicated to conditions of the ear, nose, and throat; in children, the pediatrician is usually the first point of contact. If you have persistent ear discomfort, getting an evaluation will let you identify the cause and receive the right guidance.
