Ear Infections

Ear infections are common in babies and small children and can be very painful. They are usually divided into those which occur in the ear canal (otitis externa) and those which occur in the small space behind the eardrum (the middle ear). The middle ear space can sometimes become filled with mucus (fluid), often during a cold. The mucus can then become infected by germs (bacteria or viruses). Children with glue ear who have mucus behind their eardrum are more prone to ear infections. 

A chronic ear infection can be more destructive than an acute ear infection because its effects are prolonged or repeated, and it could cause permanent damage to the ear. A chronic long-term infection may show less severe symptoms - so the infection may remain unnoticed and untreated for a long time.

Symptoms of an Ear Infection

  • Earache is common but does not always occur

  • Dulled hearing may develop for a few days

  • A high temperature (fever) is common

  • Children may feel sick or vomit and can be generally unwell

  • Sometimes the eardrum can burst (perforates), this allows the infected mucus out and the ear becomes runny for a few days.
