Frequently asked questions
Should I put oil in an infected ear?
No. Do not put oil or anything else in the ear unless your doctor advises it.
Can an ear infection cause hearing loss?
It can cause temporary hearing loss. Repeated or long-standing infections can cause lasting damage, so proper treatment matters.
Does a burst eardrum heal?
Many small perforations heal on their own. Some need surgery if they do not heal or cause repeated discharge.
Are ear infections in children treated at Apex?
Children with ear infections can be seen by our paediatricians and ENT specialists.
