When to seek care for Ear Infections
Common Symptoms of Ear Infections
Come see us if you or your child have:
- Throbbing or sharp ear pain
- Fluid draining from the ear
- Muffled hearing or pressure (clogged ears)
- Itchy ears or discomfort after swimming
- Fever, fussiness, or ear pulling (especially in children)
- Pain that worsens when touching the outer ear (swimmer’s ear)
What Causes Ear Infections?
Ear infections can develop from:
- Bacteria or viruses, often after a cold
- Trapped water in the ear canal (swimmer’s ear)
- Fluid buildup behind the eardrum (otitis media with effusion)
- Allergies or sinus infections
- Earwax blockages, which can cause pain, fullness, and hearing loss
Our providers can diagnose the cause and provide fast relief — even if it’s not a true infection.
Can I Treat an Ear Infection at Home?
For mild symptoms, these options may help short-term:
- OTC ear drops for pain and inflammation
- Swimmer’s ear drops to dry excess moisture
- Warm compress on the outside of the ear
If pain lasts more than 48 hours, worsens, or is accompanied by fever or hearing changes — it’s time to stop home care.
Still uncomfortable? Walk into OneSpotMD Urgent Care — no appointment needed.
