Sample Query & Answer

About "ear infections"

Ear infections are caused mainly due to viral or bacterial infection, which usually affects the middle ear. Due to building up of fluids and inflammation, ear infections are very painful. Other symptoms include fluid draining from the ear and decreased hearing. Ear infections are more common after cold, flu, and allergy. Frequent infection of the middle ear in children can cause complications like impaired hearing, the spread of infection to the brain membranes, developmental delays, and eardrum tear. Antibiotic and painkiller eardrops are used in its treatment.
