OTITIS MEDIA AND OTITIS EXTERNA IN ADULTS

This is a case of localized acute otitis externa, likely caused by bacterial superinfection. [Ask which pathogens are usually involved: answer=pseudomonas aeruginosa or staph aureus]. In addition to gentle removal of debris, mild cases like this may resolve with topical antibiotic/anti-inflammatory drops (e.g. Cortisporin, or Cipro-HC) alone. ................
