Earache, also termed otalgia, is one of the most common complaints in both children and adults. The discomfort or pain often arises due to inflammation and swelling of the delicate structures of the ear, which include the external auditory canal, the eardrum (tympanic membrane), and the middle ear. Depending on the underlying cause, the pain can be sharp, dull, or throbbing, and may significantly affect daily life.

One of the frequent causes of earache is otitis externa, an infection of the outer ear canal. This canal is also the site where earwax is formed. Infection commonly occurs after swimming or excessive moisture exposure, hence the term swimmer’s ear. Apart from pain, this condition may present with redness, itching, irritation, and sometimes even a discharge from the ear. Another common problem, especially in children, is otitis media, inflammation or infection of the middle ear, often linked with colds or respiratory infections.
