Ear pain, or otalgia, is a common symptom that can result from local ear conditions or referred pain from surrounding structures. It may be acute or chronic, mild or severe, and is often associated with infection, inflammation, trauma, or systemic disorders.

Causes:

• Otitis externa (outer ear infection)
• Otitis media (middle ear infection)
• Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM)
• Earwax impaction
• Trauma or foreign bodies
• Dental, throat, or sinus problems (referred pain)
• Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)
• Neuralgia (e.g., trigeminal, glossopharyngeal)

Symptoms:

• Sharp, throbbing, burning, or aching pain in one or both ears
• Ear fullness or pressure sensation
• Redness, swelling, or tenderness of external ear
• Fever or malaise in infectious causes
• Hearing impairment, discharge, or tinnitus in some cases

Complications:
If untreated, ear pain from infection can lead to hearing loss, tympanic membrane perforation, mastoiditis, or systemic infection. Chronic pain may also cause anxiety, sleep disturbance, and reduced quality of life.

Conventional management includes analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, ear cleaning, and addressing underlying causes, while homoeopathy offers pain relief, inflammation control, and constitutional support.

Homoeopathy treats ear pain by targeting local inflammation, infection, and nerve sensitivity, while considering constitutional predisposition, pain characteristics, and aggravating factors. Remedies are selected according to pain type, onset, associated discharge, fever, and systemic symptoms.

The approach aims to:

Support constitutional immunity and prevent recurrence

Relieve acute and chronic ear pain

Reduce inflammation, swelling, and tenderness

Address associated systemic or referred causes
