What is an Ear Infection?
Ear infection happens when bacteria, viruses, or fungi attack the ear. It is very common, especially in children. There are different types:
- Outer Ear Infection (Otitis Externa or Swimmer’s Ear): Affects the ear canal, often after water enters the ear.
- Middle Ear Infection (Otitis Media): Most common type. It causes pain, fever, and fluid behind the eardrum.
- Inner Ear Infection: Less common but can affect hearing and balance.
Common signs include ear pain, fever, ear discharge, hearing trouble, irritability in children, and swelling. If not treated properly, it can lead to hearing loss, eardrum damage, or repeated infections.
