Otitis media is an inflammatory condition affecting the mucous membrane of the middle ear cleft characterized by purulent ear discharge along with swelling, pain and perforation of tympanic membrane. Prolonged condition causes mastoiditis, sub periosteal abscess, trigeminal neuralgia, facial paralysis, meningitis and labrynthitis.
