A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confirm/medicate: A true bacterial ear infection can be confirmed easily ; treated for a quick resolution.This is done by a visual exam of the ear drum and detection of pus behind the ear drum. In the era prior to antibiotics, most just ran their course over weeks or months ; occasionally resulted in hearing loss.
