After catching a cold, I developed otitis media externa.

Patient's question:

About a week ago, I got a cold. Then starting from Monday, my ears started to feel uncomfortable. The next day, I couldn't hear clearly out of my left ear.

Doctor's answer:

You have a feeling of blocked ears and a decrease in hearing, which occurred after a cold or rhinitis. It is necessary to consider the possibility of otitis media with effusion.
Advice: It is recommended to promptly go to the hospital for specialized examination to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. If it is otitis media with effusion, in addition to appropriate oral medication, patients with fluid accumulation in the ear may need tympanic injection and fluid drainage treatment.
