Right Otitis Media is caused by inflammation of the middle ear caused by either virus or bacteria. Common colds, flu and other respiratory infections can trigger this inflammation. Allergies such as hay fever may also be a factor.

The most common symptom of right otitis media is pain in the right ear along with fullness or pressure sensation in the ear. Hearing may also be reduced in one ear which often leads to dizziness or vertigo. Other symptoms include ringing in the ears, drainage from the infected side and fever.

Diagnosis of right otitis media typically begins with a physical examination conducted by a doctor followed by an audiogram and imaging tests such as CT scan or MRI depending on the case. Blood tests may also be conducted for ruling out any underlying conditions that might have triggered the infection.

Yes, right otitis media can be treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications and decongestants to reduce swelling and pain depending on your condition. Surgery may be necessary if there is fluid blockage behind your eardrum or if an abscess has formed due to severe infection.

To prevent your child from developing right otitis media, you should encourage them to practice good hygiene such as washing their hands frequently and avoiding contact with people who are sick or have any kind of respiratory infections.
