Here is how Otitis Media is Diagnosed:
A physical examination is usually enough to diagnose an ear infection in the middle ear. The doctor will use a lighted device called an otoscope to check for:
If further assessment is needed, additional tests may be recommended.

Treatment for otitis media is tailored to the patient’s age, symptoms, infection type and severity. Our ENT specialists determine whether medical management or surgical intervention is needed.
Pain relief:
Antibiotics:
Ear drops:
Myringotomy with tympanostomy tubes (ear tubes):
Tympanoplasty:
If you are scheduled for a surgical procedure such as a tympanoplasty to treat chronic otitis media or recurrent middle ear infections, proper preparation can help ensure a smooth and safe recovery.
If your otitis media treatment involves general anaesthesia or sedation, you will likely need to avoid eating or drinking after midnight before the procedure. This helps reduce the risk of aspiration during surgery.
Since you may feel drowsy or disoriented after the procedure, it is important to arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home. You will not be able to drive yourself after receiving anaesthesia.
Before the operation, make sure to inform your ENT specialist about your complete medical history. This includes any existing health conditions, current medications, known allergies (especially to antibiotics for middle ear infection), and any past ear procedures. This helps your doctor tailor your otitis media therapy safely and effectively.
You may be advised to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, before surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.
Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal prior to surgery, including cotton swabs or ear drops for otitis media, unless specifically prescribed. Your ENT specialist may clean the ear during the pre-operative assessment if needed.
After the otitis media operation, you may need to rest for a few days. Stock up on any prescribed meds for otitis media, such as pain relievers or otitis media antibiotics. Your doctor may also advise ear protection to prevent water or bacteria entering the inflamed middle ear during healing.

If otitis media is not treated on time, especially in cases like acute otitis media, chronic suppurative otitis media, or otitis media with effusion, it may lead to serious complications.
Here are the potential risks of leaving a middle ear infection untreated:
A build-up of fluid or pus in the middle ear, known as middle ear effusion, can affect how sound travels.
Young children with chronic otitis media or persistent ear effusion may experience delays in speech and language development. This is often due to reduced hearing over time.
In some cases, the infection may spread to nearby areas such as the mastoid bone, sinuses, or even the brain. This is more likely to occur in untreated chronic otitis media or bacterial ear infection that becomes severe.
Prolonged pressure from fluid or pus behind the eardrum can cause it to rupture. A perforated eardrum can lead to sharp ear pain, drainage, and reduced hearing. In some cases, a tympanoplasty may be needed to repair the damage.
Without proper otitis media therapy, the condition may progress to adhesive otitis media or otitis media suppurative, which involve scarring, thickened tissues, or persistent drainage. These may require surgical treatment such as otitis media operation to restore function and prevent recurrence.
The inner ear plays an important role in balance. Long-standing middle ear infection otitis media can affect nearby structures, leading to dizziness or unsteadiness.
Treatment depends on the type and severity but usually involves antibiotics, pain relief, and sometimes surgery.
Surgery is considered if infection persists, causes hearing loss, or there is a perforated eardrum.
Antibiotics help clear bacterial infections but may not be effective for all types, especially chronic or effusion cases.
Recovery varies; acute infections may improve in a few days, while surgery recovery can take a few weeks.
Tympanoplasty is performed under anaesthesia, and any post-operative pain is mild and manageable with medication.
Yes, we provide specialised care for children with otitis media using gentle and effective treatments.
Avoid water entering the ear, heavy lifting, and exposure to dust or smoke until fully healed.
Some cases may improve with antibiotics, ear drops, and careful monitoring, but surgery is often needed for chronic conditions.
Recurrence is possible, especially without preventive measures or if the underlying cause is not addressed.
Cost for Otitis Media Treatment vary depending on treatment type but typically range from INR 65,000 to INR 1,0,5000.
Yes, Pristyn Care accepts most health insurance plans covering ear infection and otitis media treatment procedures.
