After an initial physical examination of the patient’s ear, nose, and throat condition, the doctor will perform additional diagnostic tests. At Medanta, following are the tests conducted to diagnose the disease:
These are prescribed by the doctor to reduce infection. The doctor is likely to avoid a surgery at this stage, and instead, give the patient a home treatment chart. Use of warm cloth over the infected portion of the ear, ear drops to reduce pain, and pain relievers, are some of the tried and tested methods.
If the medications do not respond well, then a surgical intervention is necessarily required. There are different surgical options available, depending upon the condition of the patient.
One type of surgery involves the removal of tonsils. These are bacterial infections (adenoids or tonsils) in the patient’s nasal cavity (where the nose bends into the throat). This type of tonsils can lead to frequent ear infections.
Another surgery is done to place tiny tubes into the patient’s ear. This tube will help in normal functioning of the middle ear (including the mastoid bone). In other words, the tube will drain out the air and fluid from the middle ear portion.
Whenever you experience difficulty in hearing, or feel heaviness in your ear, you should immediately consult a doctor for clinical assessment. All your symptoms will be treated perfectly by our medical experts at Medanta.
