Q » How does ear infection develop?

A » An ear infection typically occurs when bacteria or viruses invade the middle ear, often following a cold, allergy, or respiratory infection. This invasion causes inflammation and fluid buildup behind the eardrum, leading to symptoms like ear pain, fever, and irritability. Children are more susceptible due to their shorter and more horizontal Eustachian tubes, which can become easily blocked, preventing fluid drainage and creating an ideal environment for infections.
