Ear Infection Assessment & Treatment
Quick, Expert Care at Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy and Travel Clinic
An ear infection can cause sharp pain, pressure, and even hearing loss — especially if left untreated. At Higher Crumpsall Pharmacy and Travel Clinic, we provide fast, confidential consultations with our trained clinicians to help diagnose and treat ear infections effectively.
What Is an Ear Infection?
An ear infection is inflammation of the ear, usually caused by bacteria or viruses. It can affect different parts of the ear, including:
Outer ear (otitis externa) – Often called “swimmer’s ear”; affects the ear canal
Middle ear (otitis media) – Common in children, but also affects adults; occurs behind the eardrum
Inner ear infections – Less common, but can cause dizziness and balance issues
Common Symptoms of an Ear Infection
You might have an ear infection if you experience:
Ear pain or pressure
Muffled hearing or hearing loss
Fluid or discharge from the ear
Itching (in outer ear infections)
Fever
Dizziness or balance problems
Pain when touching or pulling the ear
Ear infections can come on suddenly and may worsen without treatment, especially if there is a bacterial cause.
