Treatment of otitis media folk remedies

Otitis - a disease that does not recognize age limits, is usually caused by an infection of either the external ear (external otitis), or the middle and inner ear. Outer otitis is actually a contamination of the skin around the ear or ear canal and is often called the "swimmer's ear." Occurs when moisture enters the ear canal or traumas in the ear canal. Middle otitis media is an infection in the middle ear or bacterial infection of the tympanic membrane, internal - an inflammation of the inner ear. Other causes include blocking the Eustachian tube, ingesting foreign particles into the ear, nasopharyngeal infections, or toothache.

Self-medication without a doctor's exact diagnosis to engage in any case impossible. The consequences threaten deafness and severe inflammation, which can result in an operating theater.
