With an average star rating of 5/5
Otitis media is often caused by bacteria or viruses that travel to the middle ear after a cold, sinus infection, or allergies.
If you or your child experience persistent ear pain, fever, or hearing difficulties, consult a doctor immediately. Symptoms like ear drainage or severe pain may indicate an advanced infection that needs urgent care.
Treatment may involve antibiotics for bacterial infections, pain-relief medications, and measures to reduce inflammation. Severe cases may require drainage of fluid from the middle ear.
While the condition itself isn’t contagious, the viral or bacterial infections causing it can spread from person to person.
Telehealth doctors can assess your symptoms, provide prescriptions, and guide you through effective treatment—all without needing to visit a clinic.
