Otitis media is a type of ear infection. It is a painful condition in which the middle ear becomes inflamed and infected. It is common, particularly in children. It often starts with a cold or allergies.
A 5-year-old child, Mast. K. M. R. along with his father and grandfather visited Life Force Homeopathy’s Thane branch on 30th March 2023 with the presenting complaints of whitish thick discharge from both the ears in the morning 2 months back. He was experiencing episodes of pain in both ears at night 2 months back, difficulty in hearing in bilateral ears for 5 months, and unresponsive to a low-pitched voice for which he had taken conventional medicines for 5 months.

On 12th December 2022, Audiometry test-B/L revealed moderate to severe conductive hearing loss.
Medical History:
The child was suffering from recurrent cold and cough for 1 year and was taking anti-allergics medicines for redness of the throat. He was experiencing bilateral swelling of adenoids for 5 months. He had no pain and no difficulty in swallowing.
Treatment Process at Lifeforce Homeopathy:
The patient's detailed medical history and current medications were reviewed. Dr. Rajesh. Shah studied the case in detail and prescribed medicines to the patient. Considering the complexity of the case and a lack of significant improvement with her current treatment, a holistic approach that included dietary changes was considered. The blood investigations were recommended and certain deficiencies of vitamins were found for which supplements were suggested to promote overall well-being.
