Ear Infections
Infections are common and symptoms can include:
Earache or ear pain
Fever (often the only symptom in young children or babies)
Itchy ears
Discharge (fluid coming from the ear)
Deafness or blocked ears
Dizziness
Noises in the ear (tinnitus)
Infections can affect the outer, middle or inner parts of your ear and can be caused by viruses, bacteria or fungus or yeasts.
Outer ear infections
The most common outer ear infection is called otitis externa, or swimmer’s ear.
Who gets otitis externa?
Risk factors for getting this type of infection include injury to the ear canal (e.g. from cotton buds), skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, immune compromise (e.g. diabetes mellitus) and regular swimming.
Otitis externa causes itchy, painful ears that produce smelly green or yellow discharge.
