Description:

Chronic suppurative otitis media is a common cause of fever in pediatrics. It's a chronic ear disease with an ongoing infection of the middle ear without an intact tympanic membrane. The Eustachian tube is crucial in this disease, and dysfunction can impair pressure equilibration and disrupt aeration.

Cause:

Chronic otitis media is primarily caused by recurrent acute otitis media and other risk factors such as traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane, blockage of the eustachian tube, injury to the ear, chemical burns, blast injuries, grommet insertion, and craniofacial abnormalities.

Symptoms:

The symptoms in adults include painless otorrhea (fluid draining from the ear), conductive hearing loss, fever, headache, confusion, swelling, tenderness, redness behind the ear, and ear pain. Common symptoms in children include ear pain, difficulty sleeping, crying, fizziness, hearing loss, balance loss, fever, fluid drainage, headache, and loss of appetite.
