Types & Treatment
How are outer ear infections treated?
Treatment includes antibiotic and steroid drops, pain relief and keeping the ear completely dry. Often, the ear canal first needs to be cleaned of debris using microsuction to allow drops to work effectively.
Perichondritis
Inflammation of the skin and cartilage of the outer ear, often from piercings or bites. Requires aggressive topical and oral antibiotics.
At Auris Ear Care, our specialist ENT Doctors can diagnose and treat these in the comfort of your home, 24/7 across London.
Middle Ear (Otitis Media) & Complications
Middle ear infections are common in children (80% by age 3). They often follow colds or sore throats. While most settle naturally, complications can arise.
Mastoiditis Warning
Rarely, infection spreads to the bone behind the ear (Mastoiditis). This is a medical emergency. Any patient with mastoiditis should be seen in an A&E department immediately.
Children’s Private Ear Infection Treatment
Children with earache can become irritable and distressed. We diagnose and treat your child’s ear infection in the comfort of your home. We have decades of experience with kids, using microscopic lenses and gentle techniques.
We offer longer appointments, distracting multimedia, balloons and animal stickers.

Ear Infection FAQ
Can you prescribe antibiotics?
Yes, our clinic lead is a GMC-registered ENT Doctor who can issue private prescriptions for antibiotics or antifungal ear drops if they are clinically indicated after your assessment.
Should I use microsuction if I have an infection?
Absolutely. Clearing the infected debris and wax via microsuction is often the most critical step in allowing the prescribed medicine to reach the ear canal skin and effectively treat the infection.
Can I fly with an ear infection?
It is generally advised to avoid flying with an active infection due to potential pain and risk of eardrum perforation from pressure changes. Our doctor can provide a safe travel assessment during your visit.
