Ear pain has a habit of peaking overnight and at weekends. Both UrgentMed clinics examine and treat ear infections for adults and children on a walk-in basis, including swimmer’s ear — common year-round in South Florida — and wax blockage affecting hearing.

Ear problems we treat

What we treat

  • Middle-ear infections (otitis media)
  • Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa)
  • Ear pain with a cold or sinus infection
  • Blocked or impacted ear wax
  • Ear pressure and muffled hearing
  • Drainage from the ear

At your visit

  • Examination of the ear canal and eardrum
  • Ear wax removal when it is blocking the view or your hearing
  • Treatment appropriate to the cause — not automatic antibiotics
  • Guidance on pain relief that actually helps
  • Referral to ENT for recurring or persistent problems

What to expect at your visit

  • An examination with an otoscope to see the canal and eardrum directly.
  • Wax removed if it is in the way, which often relieves symptoms on its own.
  • Treatment matched to what is found — drops, oral medication, or supportive care.
  • Work or school notes and clear guidance on when to return.

When to go to the emergency room instead

  • Severe headache, stiff neck or confusion with ear pain
  • Swelling, redness or pain over the bone behind the ear
  • Facial weakness on the side of the painful ear
  • Sudden complete hearing loss

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment for ear pain?

No. Both clinics take walk-ins seven days a week, including evenings and weekends when a pediatrician’s office is closed.

Do you treat children’s ear infections?

Yes. Ear infections are among the most common reasons families come in, and children are seen on a walk-in basis.

Will I definitely get antibiotics?

Not necessarily. Many ear infections are viral and improve without antibiotics; giving them unnecessarily causes harm. A provider examines the ear and recommends what is actually appropriate.

Can you remove ear wax?

Yes. Wax that is blocking hearing or preventing examination can usually be removed during the visit.

What is swimmer’s ear?

An infection of the ear canal, common in Florida, that typically causes pain when the outer ear is touched or pulled. It is treated differently from a middle-ear infection, which is why examination matters.
