Otitis Internal

Otitis media is an inflammatory disease of the inner ear that can lead to serious complications and hearing loss. This term refers to numerous diseases that are caused by infection or inflammation. Otitis of the inner ear can be acute, chronic or recurrent. Acute otitis occurs quickly and suddenly, in contrast to chronic otitis, which lasts several weeks or months. Recurrent otitis media is characterized by repeated episodes of the disease over a certain period of time. In most cases, otitis media of the inner ear is caused by infections such as respiratory infections, upper respiratory tract infections, influenza, pneumonia, sinusitis and others. It can also develop as a complication of otitis media - inflammation of the middle ear. Other causes often include tympanosclerosis, a complication that occurs after a ruptured eardrum or head injury. Symptoms of otitis media of the inner ear include pain, noise, ringing in the ears, a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ears, and headache. In some cases, discharge from the ears may occur. If you experience these symptoms, you should seek medical help immediately. Treatment depends on the cause of otitis media and its severity. Patients are typically prescribed antibiotics to fight the infection, as well as ear drops, vasoconstrictors, and pain medications. Surgeons are used if necessary
