Asymptomatic Otitis Media
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Asymptomatic otitis media, also described as otitis media with effusion without obvious discomfort, is the presence of fluid behind the eardrum without the typical symptoms of pain or fever. That is why it can go unnoticed.
How it is detected: since it does not cause pain, it is often discovered during an ear exam or when a slight decrease in hearing or a feeling of a plugged ear is noticed.
Why treat it? Even though it does not hurt, persistent fluid can affect hearing, especially in children, so it is worth monitoring.
Which specialist treats it? Otolaryngology is the area that examines the ear and follows up on this type of finding. If you suspect a decrease in hearing or a feeling of a full ear, a professional review helps clarify it in time.
