What is an Ear Infection?

An ear infection (otitis media or otitis externa) is an inflammation and/or infection of the ear, typically caused by bacteria or viruses. It can occur in the middle ear (behind the eardrum) or the outer ear (ear canal).

Ear infections are common in children but also affect adults.

How Ear Infections Develop

Ear infections often happen when:

A respiratory infection spreads to the ears

Water becomes trapped in the ear canal (e.g., swimmer’s ear)

Allergies or sinus infections cause Eustachian tube blockage

This leads to fluid buildup and bacterial or viral growth.

Common Symptoms of an Ear Infection

Prompt treatment relieves discomfort and prevents complications.

Preventing Ear Infections

Simple habits can protect against future infections.
