👉 Mephitis is a term used to describe a type of disease that can cause inflammation in the lining of the ear. It is characterized by the appearance of redness, swelling, and pain around the ear, which may feel like it's being pinched or squeezed. This condition can be caused by various factors such as infection, trauma, or certain medications. If left untreated, mephitis can lead to a permanent loss of hearing due to damage to the inner ear.
