What are the signs of an ear infection?

The ear is a complex component of the body that is made up of numerous chambers. Ear infections can occur in any of these chambers and cause a variety of symptoms. 

According to the Best ENT Consultant and Surgeon in Greater Noida, Ear infections are classified into three kinds. They correlate to the three major sections of the ear: the inner, middle, and outer.

Infection of the inner ear

A disease labeled as an inner ear infection may be a case of inflammation rather than an infection.

 

 Symptoms:

  • dizziness

  • nausea

  • vomiting

 

Infection in the middle ear

 

The region just beneath your eardrum is known as the middle ear.

 Infection is caused by fluid becoming trapped behind the eardrum, causing the eardrum to protrude. 

Symptoms

  • Earache, 

  • Fullness in your ear and fluid leakage.

  • You may also experience hearing loss until the illness clears.

 

Infection of the outer ear

 

The portion of your ear that extends from your eardrum to the outside of your head is known as the outer ear.

Symptoms:

  • The ear may become aching, sensitive, or both.

  • Red

  • Itchy rash

  • Swollen

 

Other Signs of ear infections are:

  • Inflammation and discomfort

  • Sensitivity to touch, and hearing abnormalities, depending on the region.

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Dizziness

  • Fever

  • Headache

  • Enlargement of the ear

  • Discharge from the ear is a symptom of a significant problem that should be treated by a doctor very once.
