Chronic Otitis Media treatment in Chihuahua

Chronic otitis media is a persistent inflammation or infection of the middle ear, the area located behind the eardrum, that continues or recurs over time and may be accompanied by changes in the eardrum.

Common symptoms: discharge draining from the ear, reduced hearing, a feeling of a plugged ear and, at times, discomfort or ringing; severe pain is not always present.

When should you seek care? When there is recurrent drainage, hearing loss, or discomfort that does not resolve.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who examines the ear and monitors chronic otitis media to prevent complications. If you notice persistent discharge or changes in hearing, the sensible step is to schedule a check-up with this professional.
