Recurrent Otitis Media (Recurrent Ear Infections)

Understanding ear related symptoms and features
Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom effects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.
The eye is a part of the auditory system of the body. The auditory system includes the ear itself and its parts: the inner, middle, and outer ear.
Symptoms affecting the ears may be congenital, present at birth, or they may develop later in life. Sometimes surgery may be an option to correct them.
Symptoms relating to the ears may affect their structure and function including their ability to hear, other times they may simply affect the shape or appearance of the ear without any impact on hearing.
What is recurrent otitis media (recurrent ear infections)?
It is defined as more than 3 acute episodes of an ear infection within 6 months or more than 4 acute episodes in 12 months.
Symptoms of recurrent ear infections include blockage of the ear, hearing loss, issues with balance, ear pain, headaches, fever, and sleepiness.
What should I do next?
In some instances, recurrent otitis media may be one of the features of a rare disease or genetic syndrome. In this case, fast, targeted genetic analysis can give you a more accurate diagnosis.
