Causative agents: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae. Common symptoms: Ear pain, fever, hearing loss. Treatment approaches: Antibiotics, analgesics, myringotomy for severe cases.

Causative agents: Bacteria or viruses, often following an upper respiratory infection. Common symptoms: Painful blisters on the tympanic membrane, mild hearing loss, earache. Treatment approaches: Analgesics, sometimes antibiotics, usually self-resolving.

Causative agents: Viral infections, strain on vocal cords. Common symptoms: Hoarseness, loss of voice, throat pain. Treatment approaches: Resting voice, hydrating, humidified air, in case of bacterial origin - antibiotics.

Causative agents: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. Common symptoms: Persistent ear discharge, hearing loss, tympanic membrane perforation. Treatment approaches: Long-term antibiotics, surgery for reconstruction, hearing aids.

Causative agents: Streptococcus pyogenes. Common symptoms: Sore throat, fever, red and swollen tonsils. Treatment approaches: Antibiotics (penicillin or amoxicillin), symptomatic relief with analgesics, throat lozenges.

Causative agents: Viral infections (usually after a cold or flu). Common symptoms: Vertigo, hearing loss, nausea. Treatment approaches: Vestibular suppressants, corticosteroids, physiotherapy for vestibular rehabilitation.

Causative agents: Fungal species such as Aspergillus and Candida. Common symptoms: Itching in the ear canal, black or white discharge, hearing loss. Treatment approaches: Cleaning of the ear canal, antifungal ear drops, avoiding water exposure in the ear.

Causative agents: Fungal organisms like Aspergillus. Common symptoms: Nasal congestion, sinus pain, reduced sense of smell. Treatment approaches: Nasal irrigation, antifungal medications, surgery in extensive cases.

Causative agents: Bacterial agents similar to those causing tonsillitis. Common symptoms: Nasal obstruction, snoring, postnasal drip. Treatment approaches: Antibiotics for bacterial infections, nasal steroids, adenoidectomy for chronic cases.

Causative agents: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. Common symptoms: Ear canal inflammation, pain, discharge. Treatment approaches: Ear drops with antibiotics and steroids, keeping ear dry, pain management.

Causative agents: Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Streptococcus pneumoniae. Common symptoms: Severe throat pain, fever, stridor. Treatment approaches: Emergency airway management, intravenous antibiotics, corticosteroids.

Causative agents: Streptococcus species, adenoviruses. Common symptoms: Swollen tonsils, sore throat, difficulty swallowing. Treatment approaches: Antibiotics for bacterial infection, tonsillectomy for chronic/recurrent cases, symptomatic relief.

Causative agents: Rhinoviruses, allergens. Common symptoms: Nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose. Treatment approaches: Antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, avoiding allergens.

Causative agents: Likely viral infections affecting the vestibular nerve. Common symptoms: Sudden severe dizziness, nausea, balance problems. Treatment approaches: Vestibular suppressants, corticosteroids, vestibular rehabilitation therapy.

Causative agents: Herpes simplex virus (usually HSV-1). Common symptoms: Painful oral blisters, fever, swollen gums. Treatment approaches: Antiviral medications, analgesics, mouth rinses to reduce pain and promote healing.

Causative agents: Parainfluenza virus, other viral pathogens. Common symptoms: Barking cough, stridor, hoarseness. Treatment approaches: Humidified air, corticosteroids, epinephrine in severe cases.

Causative agents: Often arises from untreated or inadequately treated acute otitis media. Common symptoms: Pain behind the ear, fever, ear discharge. Treatment approaches: Intravenous antibiotics, possible surgical intervention (mastoidectomy), drainage of the middle ear.

Causative agents: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridans. Common symptoms: Painful swollen gland, dry mouth, pus discharge from the duct. Treatment approaches: Antibiotics, sialogogues, hydration, massaging the gland.

Causative agents: Often follows streptococcal infection. Common symptoms: Severe sore throat, fever, swollen glands in the neck. Treatment approaches: Needle aspiration or surgical drainage, antibiotics, pain management.

Causative agents: Not an infection but associated with chronic inflammation. Common symptoms: Nasal obstruction, reduced sense of smell, snoring. Treatment approaches: Corticosteroids, nasal polypectomy surgery, managing associated conditions such as asthma or allergies.

Causative agents: Fungi of the order Mucorales. Common symptoms: Facial swelling, black necrotic tissue in the nasal passage, fever. Treatment approaches: Antifungal therapy, surgical debridement of necrotic tissue, managing underlying conditions.

Causative agents: Not an infection, but related to allergies or idiopathic causes. Common symptoms: Swelling beneath the skin, possible swelling of the throat or tongue. Treatment approaches: Antihistamines, corticosteroids, epinephrine for severe cases.

Causative agents: Upper respiratory tract infections, allergies. Common symptoms: Muffled hearing, ear fullness, popping sensations. Treatment approaches: Nasal decongestants, nasal corticosteroids, autoinflation exercises.
