Ear Infection

Ear infections are incredibly common in infants and can be categorized mainly into two different types of infections, inside the ear and outside the ear. Our private service allows patients to receive an ear spray to help relieve the symptoms caused by an out ear infection. Symptoms may include the following: ear pain, itching, redness or swelling and even sometimes discharge. Alongside the spray it is advised that patients take some anti-inflammatory/painkillers to help further with masking the symptoms until the medication takes effect. It is important to note that usually outer ear infections go away on their own.
