Understanding Ear Infections
An ear infection occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi inflame parts of the ear, often after a cold, allergy, or water exposure. It may affect different parts of the ear, leading to varying symptoms and treatment approaches.

Types of ear infections include:
- External ear infection (otitis externa): Commonly caused by water retention or skin irritation, often requiring external ear infection treatment.
- Middle ear infection (otitis media): Affects the space behind the eardrum, and is more frequent in children and infants.
- Inner ear bone infection (mastoiditis): A rare but serious condition requiring advanced medical or surgical care.
- Fungal ear infection (otomycosis): Caused by fungal growth, particularly in humid conditions.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Ear pain or itching
- Fluid or pus discharge
- Hearing difficulty or pressure in the ear
- Fever or irritability in babies
- Dizziness in advanced cases
Infants may tug at their ears, cry excessively, or struggle with feeding, common signs needing prompt infant ear infection treatment.

At Zydus, each case begins with a precise diagnosis using otoscopic evaluation and, when needed, imaging or culture tests. Our ENT specialists offer comprehensive ear infection treatment tailored to the infection type and severity.
