What is Earache?

Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear. It is associated with inflammation, redness and fluid buildup behind the eardrum. Whilst anyone can develop acute otitis media, it is most common among children. The pharmacist will check your suitability and eligibility for the Free NHS Pharmacy First Service. In some cases, a treatment may not be required for your symptoms. Also, if the pharmacist finds that your symptoms suggest a more serious infection or condition, they may refer you to your GP or another service for further assessment and treat
