What is Acute Otitis Media?
Acute otitis media is a painful ear infection that causes inflammation behind the eardrum. It often appears suddenly and can lead to symptoms such as ear pain, fever, trouble sleeping and temporary hearing loss. While it’s most common in children and young people, it can affect adults too.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Our pharmacist will carry out a short consultation, take a look at your medical history and examine the ear. If acute otitis media is confirmed, we can supply treatment straight away during your appointment. There’s no need to visit your GP or wait for a prescription — everything is handled quickly and professionally in the pharmacy.
