Ask
Hello doctor. I am 31 years old this year, have otitis media since childhood but have not been treated until now. Every day I feel heavier and heavier. Doctor let me ask if a long-term middle ear infection can be cured? Will there be any sequelae after that? Looking forward to receiving your doctor's advice and response. Thank you

Hello. The doctor would like to answer the question: "Can a long-term otitis media be cured?" Your condition is as follows:
Otitis media or middle ear infection is a fairly common disease that occurs in children. Children 1-2 years old are most at risk of infection. The disease often appears in the rainy season, the weather changes.
If there is no timely treatment for otitis media, it can affect hearing. There have been many cases of otitis media for a long time but subjectively causing deafness, there are cases of death due to complications of meningitis or brain hemorrhage...
You should go to the Ear, Nose and Throat clinic at the facility. Prestigious healthcare or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide for early examination and treatment.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec. Best regards!
