Ear infections are one of the most common health problems that affect both children and adults. While they may start as a minor irritation, if left untreated, they can lead to hearing loss, persistent pain, or even more serious complications.
At Dr. Meenakshi Singh ENT Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of ear conditions with advanced medical expertise.

-
Earache or Ear Discharge – Persistent pain or fluid draining from the ear.
-
Fever – Often seen in children with middle ear infections.
-
Headaches – Due to pressure build-up in the ear.
