Mastoiditis is an inflammation or infection of the mastoid bone, which is located behind the ear. The mastoid bone is a hollow, air-filled space within the temporal bone of the skull. This condition often develops as a complication of middle ear infections (otitis media) that have not been adequately treated. Bacteria from the middle ear can spread into the mastoid air cells.
Symptoms of mastoiditis can include persistent ear pain, fever, swelling and redness behind the ear, and discharge
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination of the ear and surrounding area, along with imaging studies
Treatment for mastoiditis usually involves a course of intravenous antibiotics to combat the infection. In more
