                     Importance of ear 
doctor in ear infection
Ear infection is an inflammation of the 
middle ear, usually caused by bacteria, and 
occurs when fluid builds up behind the 
eardrum. Anyone can get an ear infection, 
but it is more common in children. Five of 
six children have at least one ear infection 
before age three. An ear infection is the 
most common reason parents take their 
children to the doctor. Visit the best ear 
doctor to consult you on the best solution 
for an ear disorder.
What are the main types of ear 
infections and their symptoms
Acute otitis media. Parts of the middle ear 
become infected and inflamed, and fluid is 
trapped behind the eardrum. This causes ear 
pain. 
Otitis media with effusion. It occurs after an ear 
infection has passed because fluid is trapped 
behind the eardrum. 
Chronic otitis media with effusion. It occurs 
when fluid remains in the middle ear for a long 
time or appears without infection. It makes it 
harder for a child to fight other infections and 
may affect her hearing.
Treatment of ear infections
If ear infections are chronic, the problem 
may be the physical structure of the child's 
ears, nose, and throat. In these cases, the 
doctor may recommend one of two 
procedures: inserting ear ventilation tubes or 
removing the adenoids. Ear specialist in 
Chandigarh recommends doctors wait two 
to three days before prescribing antibiotics 
for some instances of acute ear infection
Depending on your child's 
pathology, ear doctor Chandigarh
 recommends medical or surgical 
treatment. Ear infections are the 
most common cause of hearing loss 
in children, which can interfere with 
learning and language 
development. 
 Some ear infections get better 
without antibiotics. If your child is 
older than two years old, the doctor 
may ask you to watch them for a 
few days and only start antibiotics if 
the signs and symptoms worsen
Some children need ear infection 
treatment to place a small 
ventilation tube (tiny hollow tubes, 
also known as ear or PET tubes) into 
the eardrum. This helps airflow and 
allows fluid to escape. The tubes 
usually remain in the eardrums for 
6 to 18 months. Some children 
continue to get ear infections even 
with ear tubes in place. 
Can ear infections be prevented
Currently, the best way to avoid ear infections 
is to reduce the associated risk factors. 
Get your child vaccinated against the flu. Your 
child should get a flu shot (also known as a flu 
shot) once a year.
Wash your hands frequently. Frequent hand 
washing prevents the spread of germs and 
prevents your child from catching colds or the 
flu.
Never put your baby down for a nap, or at 
night, with a bottle.
