Mastoiditis is the inflammation of the mastoid process, a bony structure located behind the ear, often due to an infection that spreads from the middle ear. It can lead to complications if not treated promptly, including hearing loss or the spread of infection to surrounding areas. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, fever, and drainage from the ear. It is important to seek medical attention if mastoiditis is suspected.
