1. Importance of ear
doctor in ear infection
EAR INFECTION IS AN INFLAMMATION OF THE MIDDLE EAR, USUALLY CAUSED
BY BACTERIA, AND OCCURS WHEN FLUID BUILDS UP BEHIND THE EARDRUM.
ANYONE CAN GET AN EAR INFECTION, BUT IT IS MORE COMMON IN
CHILDREN. FIVE OF SIX CHILDREN HAVE AT LEAST ONE EAR INFECTION BEFORE
AGE THREE. AN EAR INFECTION IS THE MOST COMMON REASON PARENTS
TAKE THEIR CHILDREN TO THE DOCTOR. VISIT THE BEST EAR DOCTOR TO
CONSULT YOU ON THE BEST SOLUTION FOR AN EAR DISORDER.

2. What are the main types of ear
infections and their symptoms
Acute otitis media. Parts of the middle ear become infected
and inflamed, and fluid is trapped behind the eardrum. This
causes ear pain.
Otitis media with effusion. It occurs after an ear infection has
passed because fluid is trapped behind the eardrum.
Chronic otitis media with effusion. It occurs when fluid
remains in the middle ear for a long time or appears without
infection. It makes it harder for a child to fight other infections
and may affect her hearing.

3. Treatment of ear infections
If ear infections are chronic, the problem may be
the physical structure of the child's ears, nose,
and throat. In these cases, the doctor may
recommend one of two procedures: inserting ear
ventilation tubes or removing the adenoids. Ear
specialist in Chandigarh recommends doctors
wait two to three days before prescribing
antibiotics for some instances of acute ear
infection

4. Depending on your child's pathology, ear doctor
Chandigarh recommends medical or surgical
treatment. Ear infections are the most common
cause of hearing loss in children, which can interfere
with learning and language development.
Some ear infections get better without antibiotics. If
your child is older than two years old, the doctor may
ask you to watch them for a few days and only start
antibiotics if the signs and symptoms worsen

5. Some children need ear infection
treatment to place a small
ventilation tube (tiny hollow
tubes, also known as ear or PET
tubes) into the eardrum. This helps
airflow and allows fluid to escape.
The tubes usually remain in the
eardrums for 6 to 18 months.
Some children continue to get ear
infections even with ear tubes in
place.

6. Can ear infections be prevented
Currently, the best way to avoid ear infections is to
reduce the associated risk factors.
Get your child vaccinated against the flu. Your child
should get a flu shot (also known as a flu shot) once
a year.
Wash your hands frequently. Frequent hand washing
prevents the spread of germs and prevents your child
from catching colds or the flu.
Never put your baby down for a nap, or at night,
with a bottle.
