Ear Infection Treatment in Johor Bahru

Jangkitan Telinga

Ear infections (otitis media and otitis externa) are common in Malaysia, particularly in children and swimmers. The tropical humidity promotes bacterial and fungal growth in the ear canal. Untreated ear infections can lead to hearing loss, eardrum perforation, and spread of infection to surrounding tissues.

Symptoms of Ear Infection

Ear pain (sharp or dull aching)
Reduced hearing or muffled sounds
Fluid drainage from the ear
Fever (especially in children)
Feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear
Dizziness or balance problems

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if ear pain is severe, you notice discharge from the ear, hearing is significantly reduced, symptoms last more than 48 hours, or a child is pulling at their ear with fever. Seek urgent care for sudden hearing loss or severe dizziness.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Our doctors use an otoscope to examine the ear canal and eardrum. Treatment depends on the type — antibiotic ear drops for outer ear infections, oral antibiotics for middle ear infections, and antifungal drops for fungal infections. We also safely remove earwax buildup that may be contributing to symptoms.
