Ear Infection Treatment in Longridge, Preston
Earache, pressure, discharge and changes in hearing can have several causes. Some ear infections settle without prescription treatment, while others need an examination to tell an outer-ear problem from a middle-ear or other cause. This service begins with an assessment, not a pre-selected medicine.

Ear symptoms are not all the same
An ear infection may cause pain, a high temperature, a feeling of pressure, discharge, itching or temporary hearing change. NHS guidance separates outer-ear, middle-ear and inner-ear problems because they affect different parts of the ear and do not always need the same management. Water exposure, eczema, earplugs and a recent cold can all be useful clues for the clinician.
Who this service may help
- This route may be suitable for a non-emergency adult ear-symptom assessment where the clinician can confirm an appropriate consultation route.
When ear symptoms need prompt advice
Use NHS 111 or urgent GP care for swelling around the ear, discharge, a new hearing change, severe sore throat, dizziness, vomiting, a very high temperature or if you feel generally unwell. Go to emergency care for severe symptoms that are escalating. This service does not replace examination when one is needed.
A consultation comes first.
The right next step depends on your health and the service you need.
Talk about your health
Tell us what you need help with, your symptoms and any medicines you take. We will explain the assessment and any fees before you proceed.
Have your suitability assessed
A consultation helps establish whether treatment is appropriate or whether you need an examination, tests or care elsewhere. A prescription is never guaranteed.
Agree the next step
If treatment is prescribed, the team will explain how to use it, its cost and how to obtain it. You should also know when to seek further advice.
Before your consultation
- Do not put objects into the ear to clear wax or discharge. Note any fluid, smell, hearing change and whether symptoms followed swimming, a cold or skin irritation.
Tell the clinician if anything changes before treatment starts. Do not use another person’s prescription medicine.
Do all ear infections need prescription treatment?
No. Many improve within a few days. The right treatment depends on the part of the ear affected and the symptoms, which is why assessment or examination may be needed.
Can I clean the ear with a cotton bud?
No. NHS guidance advises against putting anything inside the ear. It can push material further in or irritate the ear canal.
Why might I be asked to attend in person?
An ear examination can be needed to assess the ear canal and eardrum safely. A consultation may direct you to an in-person route when that is the safer option.
