==Overview==
The most common symptoms of all classifications of otitis media are [[ear pain]] and feelings of "fullness" in the ear due to fluid buildup in the [[eustachian tube]]. These are usually accompanied by ear fluid discharge, as well as partial loss of hearing. [[Common cold]] symptoms, including [[cough]], [[nasal discharge]], and [[fever]], usually accompany acute otitis media. Symptoms of chronic otitis media with effusion usually include [[neurological]] conditions, such as irritability, poor physical coordination, and delayed speech development and poor attention span in infants and young children. History of [[smoking]], [[allergies]], having an occupation with exposure to air pollution, attending day care, and having a family history of [[ear infections]] can be indicative of and should be considered when diagnosing otitis media.


==History and Symptoms==
==History==
*[[Earache]]: When the middle ear becomes acutely infected by bacteria, pressure builds up behind the ear drum, usually but not always causing pain.
History of the following should be considered for otitis media patients:<ref name="urlEar infection - acute: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia">{{cite web |url=https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000638.htm |title=Ear infection - acute: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>
*[[Otorrhea]]: In severe or untreated cases, the tympanic membrane may rupture, allowing the pus in the middle ear space to drain into the ear canal. If there is enough of it, this drainage may be obvious. Even though the rupture of the tympanic membrane suggests a traumatic process, it is almost always associated with the dramatic relief of pressure and pain.
*[[Smoking]]: contributes to fluid buildup and blockage in the [[eustachian tube]].
*[[Allergies]].

Overview

The most common symptoms of all classifications of otitis media are ear pain and feelings of "fullness" in the ear due to fluid buildup in the eustachian tube. These are usually accompanied by ear fluid discharge, as well as partial loss of hearing. Common cold symptoms, including cough, nasal discharge, and fever, usually accompany acute otitis media. Symptoms of chronic otitis media with effusion usually include neurological conditions, such as irritability, poor physical coordination, and delayed speech development and poor attention span in infants and young children. History of smoking, allergies, having an occupation with exposure to air pollution, attending day care, and having a family history of ear infections can be indicative of and should be considered when diagnosing otitis media.

History

History of the following should be considered for otitis media patients:[1]

Symptoms

Symptoms of otitis media include the following:[1]

  • Ear pain: caused by pressure buildup in the eustachian tube.
  • Feeling of "fullness" in the ear.
  • For acute otitis media, Common cold symptoms accompanying the causative pathogen are common:
  • Fluid discharge in the ear.
  • Partial loss of hearing.
  • Irritability (in infants).
  • Neurological symptoms from chronic otitis media with effusion:[3]
    • Poor attention span.
    • Delayed speech development.
    • Clumsiness.
    • Poor balance.
