Symptoms:
Severe pain, dizziness and facial nerve injury (facial weakness)

Swelling, tenderness and redness behind the ear, which may indicate spread of infection to the mastoid bone (mastoiditis)

Fever, headache and confusion

Treatment:
Suppurative chronic otitis media usually is treated with antibiotics taken by mouth and antibiotic
eardrops.

Prevention:

One of the best ways to prevent chronic otitis media is to have any ear infection treated promptly. A child with chronic Eustachian tube problems may need special tubes (tympanostomy tubes) inserted into his or her eardrums to prevent repeated ear infections by allowing air to flow normally in the middle ear.

After an infection clears up, a perforated eardrum may need to be repaired to prevent another infection.

I tried to look up this condition in several places including my medical dictionary and I can't find anything. The closest thing I've come up with the online search is mastoiditis.
