What is ear infection?
An ear infection normally refers to infection of the middle ear behind the eardrum (otitis media), often after a cold and especially frequent in children.

Causes and risk factors
Viruses or bacteria travelling up from the nose and throat. Colds, flying and swimming can all raise the risk.
How ear infection is treated
Your doctor reviews the symptoms, says whether a virus or bacteria is more probable and prescribes if appropriate. If the eardrum must be examined, an in-person visit will be advised. Treatment can involve painkillers and, where bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics.
