FAQ For Ear Pain
What causes ear pain in Andheri West's humid environment?
Humidity and water exposure can lead to swimmer’s ear or fungal infections, common in Mumbai’s climate.
Is ear pain in children serious?
Yes, especially if recurrent. It could indicate middle ear infections or blocked eustachian tubes and needs pediatric ENT attention.
How can I relieve earache at home?
Warm compresses, gentle steam inhalation, and keeping the ear dry can help temporarily — but consult a doctor for lasting relief.
Can flying cause ear pain?
Yes, due to ear pressure changes and eustachian tube dysfunction. Use earplugs and decongestants before travel.
When should I see a doctor for ear pain?
If the pain lasts over 24 hours, is severe, or is accompanied by fever, discharge, or hearing loss.
Do I need antibiotics for ear pain?
Not always. Our ENT specialists prescribe antibiotics only when there’s bacterial infection; viral or fungal cases need different treatment.
Can TMJ disorders cause ear pain?
Yes. Jaw joint disorders can refer pain to the ear, often felt while chewing or talking.
Is ear pain linked to throat infection?
Absolutely. The ear, nose, and throat are connected. A sore throat can refer pain to the ears.
