Can a brain abscess be prevented?

Condition analysis:
Hello, A complete clinical examination is extremely important for correct diagnosis and treatment. A persistent middle ear infection can cause brain abscess. Untreated and incompletely treated ear infections also put you at risk of a brain abscess. If you have been taking antibiotics the chances of developing complications like brain abscess are very unlikely. The most common symptoms are an elevated body temperature, headache, confusion, weakness and in severe cases paralysis on one side of the body. If you are doubtful it is suggested to consult your ENT specialist and get examined. I sincerely hope it helps.
