Otitis media

Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear, usually associated with a
buildup of fluid. The fluid may or may not be infected.

There are several kinds of otitis media:

  1. Acute otitis media is an infection that produces pus, fluid, and
     inflammation within the middle ear. It is frequently associated with
     signs of upper respiratory infection, such as a runny or stuffy nose.
  2. Otitis media with effusion is the presence of middle ear fluid for 6
     weeks or more from the initial acute otitis media.
  3. Chronic otitis media may develop when the infection persists for more
     than 2 weeks.
