Ear infections can occur in different parts of the ear. Outer ear infections (otitis externa) are often caused by water exposure or skin irritation, while middle ear infections (otitis media) are more common in children and usually follow a cold or respiratory infection. Inner ear infections are rarer and may affect balance.
Treatment depends on the location and severity of the infection. Bacterial infections may require antibiotic ear drops such as Otomize, which contains dexamethasone, neomycin, and acetic acid to reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, and dry the ear canal. Pain relief may also be advised.
A prescriber will assess your symptoms and medical history to determine if ear drops or other treatments are appropriate. Prompt treatment helps reduce pain, prevent complications, and speed up recovery.
For outer ear infections, keeping the ear dry and avoiding further irritation are key to recovery. Ear drops like Otomize are easy to apply and usually provide relief within a few days. It’s important to complete the full course even if symptoms improve.
Preventative measures include drying ears thoroughly after swimming or showering, avoiding cotton buds, and using earplugs in wet environments. People prone to infections may benefit from routine care and early treatment at the first sign of symptoms.
Ordering ear infection treatment online is straightforward. Select your treatment, complete a short medical consultation, and a UK prescriber will review your case. If suitable, your medicine will be delivered discreetly and promptly.
