Otitis is often referred to as the inflammation of the ear and there are different forms of Otitis depending on where it occurs in and around the ear.
Otitis is an inflammation of the ear that usually affects children between 6 months and 3 years but may also affect adults. It can also be common in people who clean their ears too often, preventing earwax from protecting their ears from bacteria that can grow there. When ear infections are not well treated, they can cause hearing loss or even total deafness in the most severe cases.
Otitis is manifested by ear pain, redness and swelling of the ear canal, and repeated itching in the ear.
How to treat otitis? Before any treatment of otitis, it is necessary to first identify the causes and the form of otitis. The treatment of ear infections is adapted according to the age of the person affected. Patients are usually put on antibiotic treatment. Surgery may be recommended to remove fluid from the middle ear. If in doubt, we advise you to consult your GP or ENT.
