What is Acute Otitis Media?
Acute otitis media is a common condition that affects one or both ears, often caused by bacterial or viral infections. It occurs when fluid builds up behind the eardrum, leading to inflammation and discomfort. Acute suppurative otitis media, a more severe form, may cause ear discharge due to infection. Otitis media acute is especially common in children but can affect adults as well.
Acute Otitis Media Symptoms
Common symptoms of acute otitis media include:
- Persistent ear pain or discomfort.
- Temporary hearing loss or muffled hearing.
- Fluid discharge from the ear.
- Fever and chills.
- Dizziness or balance problems.
- Swelling and redness around the ear.
Home Treatment for Acute Otitis Media
Before seeking medical acute otitis media treatment, try these home remedies:
- Warm Compress: Applying a warm cloth to the affected ear can ease discomfort.
- Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or paracetamol can reduce pain and fever.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids can help you manage symptoms, especially if linked to a cold or sinus infection.
- Head Elevation: Keeping the head elevated while resting may help fluid drain from the ear more effectively.

Benefits of the Flu Vaccine
The flu is more than just a cold. Even people who are young and fit can become seriously ill from the flu. For older people and those with long-term health conditions, the flu can be very dangerous. That’s why it is recommended that everyone aged 2 and older get the flu jab if they are safe to do so.
The flu is a respiratory virus that can last for weeks and can’t be treated with antibiotics. Most people who get it will feel better within a week or so without any problems, but others may develop more serious complications like pneumonia and cardiac conditions.
