In some cases, ear infections may heal on their own or with minor at-home treatment. However, there are other cases in which infections may progress past the point where they can be resolved without help from a specialist. There are also some patients with underlying conditions that make them more susceptible to ear infections. Whether you’re suffering from an ear infection that has lasted longer than two days, your symptoms are severe, or you’ve experienced repeated infections in a short time, you can rely on the team at Glatz Group to get you the care you need.

For at-home treatment of ear infections, you can try things like antibiotics, eardrops, and hydrogen peroxide. However, if your symptoms don’t go away or keep coming back, it might be time for a more significant intervention. You may need treatment for a ruptured eardrum resulting in infections, or you could be suffering from excess build-up of ear wax that requires medical removal. Sometimes, ear infections can be treated with prescription antibiotics. For others, persistent ear infections may be caused by a problem with the tubes of the ears, something which can often be resolved with ear tube surgery.
