Description

1 – OTITIS EXTERNA

It is the inflammation of external auditory canal which can extend to the outer ear as well. It can be acute, lasting for less than 6 weeks or chronic which lasts more than 3 months. It is also known as swimmer’s ear as it occurs commonly during summer and in tropical climates. Causes include bacterial infection, allergy, eczema and psoriasis. It is manifested by itching and pain in ear, otorrhoea, fullness sensation and hearing loss.

2 – OTITIS MEDIA

Acute Otitis Media

It is an acute infection of the middle ear, most commonly seen in children between the age of 6 to 24 months. This infection can be viral, bacterial or coinfection. Symptoms include pulling or tugging at ears, irritability, headache, disturbed or restless sleep, poor feeding, anorexia, vomiting or diarrhoea and low grade fever in 2/3rd cases.

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

It is a chronic inflammation of middle ear and/or mastoid cavity where the tympanic membrane is ruptured. It is characterized by a persistent otorrhoea over 2-6 weeks through a perforated tympanic membrane, hearing loss, tinnitus and aural fullness. Causes include viral or bacterial infection.

Otitis Media with Effusion

It is a condition in which there is presence of fluid in the middle ear without any signs of acute infection. The fluid puts pressure on the tympanic membrane and prevents it from vibrating properly and hence, decreases the sound conduction resulting in hearing deficit. Other symptoms include otalgia, which is intermittent, difficulty in communication, lack of attention and withdrawal. There may be tinnitus and foreign body sensation in adults.
