Infection in the middle ear (otitis media)

Otitis media is a bacterial infection in the middle ear. Otitis media can affect anyone. However, it is more common in young children.

Symptoms

Due to the infection, fluid might build up in the middle of the ear, causing the eardrum to bulge outward and producing ear pain.

Because the ossicles (the tiny bones in the ear) can no longer move freely and transport sound waves to the inner ear, the fluid can also cause minor hearing loss.

In difficult situations, the eardrum may burst, allowing pus and blood to enter the external ear canal.

Causes

When a bacterial or viral infection spreads to the ear, it is called otitis media. When something gets into the ear from the nose or throat, it causes a middle ear infection.
