What are the symptoms of otitis media?
Otitis media comes in several types, with most cases of acute otitis media involving ear pain, typically throbbing or stabbing pain, followed by decreased hearing, or tinnitus. There may also be ear discharge or pus; using a cotton swab, one might notice an unusual smell from the ear secretions. Systemic symptoms such as fever and chills are less common, with the primary symptoms being localized, mainly consisting of ear pain, reduced hearing, and discharge.
Do you need to be hospitalized for suppurative tonsillitis?
Purulent tonsillitis is a relatively severe type of tonsillitis, mainly caused by bacterial infection leading to inflammation and pus formation in the tonsils. If symptoms are severe, such as intense pain that interferes with eating and swallowing, or even high fever reaching above 38.5 degrees Celsius, hospitalization for intravenous therapy is recommended. If the condition is mild, with no fever and less severe pain and swallowing discomfort not affecting eating, oral medication or outpatient intravenous therapy can be administered.
Meniere's disease should be treated in which department?
Meniere's disease should be treated at an otolaryngology department, as it primarily affects the inner ear. The disease, due to fluid accumulation in the labyrinth of the inner ear, causes symptoms primarily characterized by vertigo and dizziness. It falls under the category of otolaryngology diseases, primarily manifesting symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, ear fullness, and a decline in hearing, and can generally be treated in the otolaryngology department.
