It often begins after a cold or chest infection (cough), and its symptoms are ear pain, and sometimes it is accompanied by a high temperature (in children) and a decrease in hearing. Slow treatment leads to the appearance of yellow fluid from the ear as a result of a perforated eardrum. Treatment consists of an antibiotic, pain reliever, and nasal drops. We use a topical antibiotic for the ear in the event of a perforation, and a specialist doctor must be visited.
