Double ear infection, also known as bilateral otitis media, is a condition in which both ears are simultaneously infected and inflamed. This type of ear infection can be particularly painful and uncomfortable for the individual experiencing it. It is more common in young children, but can also occur in adults.
The symptoms of a double ear infection can include ear pain, difficulty hearing, drainage from the ears, fever, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. The infection is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection, which can be the result of a respiratory infection, allergies, or a blocked Eustachian tube.
Treatment for a double ear infection may include antibiotics, pain relievers, and ear drops. In severe cases, a procedure to drain the fluid from the middle ear may be necessary. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you or your child has a double ear infection.
