Adhesive Otitis Media treatment in Cancún

Adhesive otitis media is a condition of the middle ear in which, after prolonged inflammation, the eardrum adheres to the internal structures and a thick fluid accumulates. This limits the normal mobility of the eardrum.

How it presents: decreased hearing, a feeling of a plugged ear and, in children, difficulty hearing or paying attention that parents notice little by little.

Contributing history: it is usually related to repeated ear infections or middle ear ventilation problems.

Which specialist cares for it? The otolaryngologist evaluates adhesive otitis media and ear health; in children the pediatrician takes part, and the allergist helps when there is an allergic component. If you notice that you hear less or a feeling of persistent pressure, it is advisable for a professional to examine the ear.
