Suffering from ear pain, pressure, or hearing issues? It could be an ear infection—a common but uncomfortable condition that affects children and adults alike. At Curis Life – Andheri West’s trusted multi-specialty clinic, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment for ear infections (otitis) with the support of our experienced ENT specialists. Whether it’s a middle ear infection, chronic otitis media, or swimmer’s ear, we ensure personalized and compassionate care, right in your neighborhood.
What is an Ear Infection?
An ear infection, also known as otitis, occurs when viruses or bacteria infect the middle ear, inner ear, or external auditory canal. It leads to earache, pressure in the ear, fluid drainage, fever, and sometimes temporary hearing loss. Children are especially prone to otitis media, but adults can experience it too, especially during weather changes or sinus infections.
Types of Ear Infections We Treat at Curis Life
- Middle Ear Infection (Otitis Media): This affects the space behind the eardrum and is often linked to cold, flu, or sinus pressure.
- Outer Ear Infection (Swimmer’s Ear / Otitis Externa): Usually caused by trapped water, this leads to redness, itching, and ear canal swelling.
- Inner Ear Inflammation: Less common, this can cause dizziness, balance issues, and hearing disturbances.
- Chronic Otitis Media: Recurrent infections that may lead to ear drum rupture or long-term hearing loss if untreated.

FAQ For Ear Infection
What are the common signs of an ear infection in children?
Irritability, tugging at the ear, fever, and disturbed sleep are typical signs of otitis media in children.
When should I see an ENT for ear pain?
If the pain persists for more than 48 hours, or if there’s fever, fluid discharge, or hearing loss, consult our ENT team in Andheri West.
Can an ear infection cause hearing loss?
Yes, especially with fluid in the middle ear. Most hearing loss is temporary, but prolonged cases need attention.
What is the difference between bacterial and viral ear infections?
Bacterial infections may require antibiotics, while viral infections usually resolve on their own. ENT consultation helps determine this.
Is ear infection treatment different for kids?
Yes, children may need pediatric ear infection treatment such as gentle medications, ear drops, or surgical drainage if frequent.
Do ear infections spread?
They can if untreated. Recurrent infections may lead to complications in the ear or sinuses.
Can I treat an ear infection at home?
Some mild infections respond to warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers. Always consult before using home remedies.
What causes chronic ear infections?
Allergies, adenoid enlargement, or Eustachian tube dysfunction may be root causes. Our ENT team investigates thoroughly.
Is surgery ever needed?
In persistent cases, minor procedures like grommet insertion or adenoidectomy may be advised to prevent future infections.
