The 7 symptoms of Myringitis
Myringitis is an inflammation of the eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane.
The 7 symptoms of myringitis include:
- Pain in the ear
- Redness and swelling of the eardrum
- Drainage of fluid from the ear
- Hearing loss or decreased hearing
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)
- Dizziness
- A fever or feeling of fullness in the ear.
The causes of myringitis can include viral or bacterial infections, ear injury, and exposure to loud noises. It is usually diagnosed through a physical examination and an examination of the ear with an otoscope. Treatment may include antibiotics, pain relief, and in some cases, surgery to repair the eardrum.
