Treatment of Ear Infections

The goal of treating ear infections would be the following:1 

  • Curing the infection.
  • To prevent complications.
  • To relieve pain.
  • To prevent recurrent infections.
Antibiotics are helpful in clearing the infections and prevent the recurrent infections.2 Surgery (myringotomy) may be suggested to relieve the pressure and allow the drainage of fluid. Surgical removal of the enlarged adenoids may be suggested if the infections are recurrent.
