The Exam
The provider looks in both ears with an otoscope, checks the throat and sinuses, and takes a temperature. For a child, a parent holds them on their lap. It takes five minutes.
Treatment
Antibiotics when the eardrum shows a bacterial infection, pain and fever control, ear drops for outer-ear infections (swimmer's ear), and decongestants or a steroid nasal spray when the problem is the Eustachian tube.
Red Flags
Sudden hearing loss, severe dizziness, facial drooping, or swelling behind the ear: ER.
