Ear Infectiion is a blockage of the auditory tube in the middle ear that causes bacteria to build up and resulting in an infection. Ear infections are usually treated with antibiotics. It occurs due to the presence or growth of bacteria or virus in the ear. Earache refers to the inflammation of the middle ear or the outer ear. It usually occurs due to cold and is most common in winters and spring months. Middle ear infections are one of the most common childhood problems. The middle ear is a small pocket of air behind the eardrum. You have a middle ear infection when germs get into the middle ear and the area fills up with fluid (pus), which contains germ-fighting cells. When the pus builds up, your ear starts to feel like a balloon that is ready to pop, which can really hurt. When you go to the doctor, he or she will look into your ear with a special flashlight called an otoscope. With the otoscope, the doctor can see your eardrum, the thin membrane between your outer and middle ear.
