Ear Infection Treatment
The main focus when treating ear infections is to relieve pain and treat the infection if bacteria is causing it. Prescription treatments are often required to treat bacterial ear infections, and over-the-counter treatments can be effective in relieving pain from viral ear infections.
Antibiotics may be needed for more severe ear infections to clear up the infection effectively.
Prescription Treatment
Antibacterial prescription sprays such as Otomize Ear Spray effectively treat ear infections as they spray antibiotics directly into the ear canal to fight the infection.

What Causes Ear Infections?
Ear infections often follow a sore throat, cold, or upper respiratory infection. If bacteria or viruses cause this initial infection, it can spread to the middle ear through your Eustachian tubes (a tube that connects your ear to your throat) and cause infection in your ear.
Ear Infection Symptoms
Ear infections typically cause uncomfortable symptoms such as:
- Pain in your ear
- A fever
- Feel like your ear is full or blocked
