Ear Infections at Royal Saints Hospital
Ear infections may involve the outer ear canal or structures behind the eardrum. Symptoms can include pain, blocked sensation, discharge, fever or temporary changes in hearing.
Avoid inserting objects or unprescribed substances into the ear. Persistent symptoms, severe pain, or swelling require a professional assessment; young children and people with medical risk factors may need earlier review.
