ENT Symptoms

Middle ear infections (otitis media) cause inflammation and fluid buildup behind the eardrum, leading to pain, hearing issues, and discomfort, especially in children, often triggered by colds, allergies, or Eustachian tube blockages.

Ear wax blockage occurs when excess cerumen builds up in the ear canal, causing hearing difficulties and discomfort, often due to overproduction, ear shape, or improper cleaning. It commonly affects older adults and hearing aid users.

Ear tenderness to touch causes pain or discomfort from infections, injuries, or skin conditions affecting the ear, potentially impacting daily activities and requiring medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist.

A red ear is caused by increased blood flow due to irritation, infection, injury, or temperature changes, and while usually harmless, persistent redness or severe symptoms may signal underlying issues needing medical attention.

An ear lesion with a mucoid appearance is an inflamed or irritated spot in or on the ear that produces a clear, sticky discharge, often caused by infections, allergies, skin conditions, or irritation.
