What is an Ear Infection?

An ear infection is a bacterial or viral infection that affects the middle ear. Inflammation and a buildup of fluid in the middle ear can cause painful infections, which can be caused by cold, flu, or allergy. While ear infections are common in children, they can also occur in adults.

Symptoms of an ear infection in children may include:

  • Ear pain
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Drainage from the ear
  • Tugging at the ear
  • Crying more than usual
  • Fever of 100°F or higher
  • Loss of appetite

Symptoms of an ear infection in adults may include:

  • Ear pain
  • Drainage from the ear
  • Trouble hearing

Treatments for Ear Infections

Several treatment approaches can be taken, depending on the cause of your ear infection. Because ear infections can often clear up on their own, treatment may consist of managing pain and monitoring the issue at first. Antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce inflammation, and over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to help reduce pain. For children who are experiencing recurrent ear infections, ear tubes may need to be placed.

If you or your child is exhibiting symptoms of an ear infection, visit Springfield Urgent Care today. We will work to diagnose and treat your ear infection symptoms quickly and efficiently.

“I don’t usually like going to any urgent care because of my bad experience BUT I love this Location. The staffs and the doctor are very nice and very friendly. One of the female nurses name Carrie. She is my favorite because she was nice and gentle when she was care for me. She also did my first Covid on my first visit there months ago. Thank You!!”

“I rarely ever leave ratings of places, and don't think I've ever commented on one, if I have I don't remember doing so but this place is AMAZING!! I was in and out so fast. ALL of the staff was so nice and so efficient. The rooms are clean and the waiting room is so nice and clean and cute. They even have a coffee machine with options if hot chocolate, hot tea, coffee and even chicken broth which I thought was just so thoughtful!! I won't go anywhere else if I need an urgent care center!!”

“By far the best Urgent Care I’ve ever been too. First, the employees are amazing and full of positivity. They know what they are doing and get stuff done. You actually feel safe there. I’ve never felt safe in an urgent care before from bad experiences until I walked into this one. I’m beyond grateful. I have to mention how beautiful and CLEAN the building is. If you need an urgent care go to this one you will not be disappointed.”
