Sisli: local notes for ear infection
Exploring Sisli means miles of walking and plenty of street food, both of which can leave visitors tired and unwell. Other places within reach include Uskudar, Bakirkoy, Buyukada (Adalar). Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Care and treatment for ear infection
The doctor evaluates your symptoms, advises whether the cause is likely viral or bacterial and prescribes treatment where appropriate. When the eardrum needs to be seen, you will be asked to attend in person. Typical choices are pain relief and, where bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics.
