Ear infections, also known as otitis, occur when the middle ear becomes inflamed, leading to symptoms such as earache, fever, and temporary hearing loss.
There are several types of ear infections, including acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, and otitis externa (Swimmer’s ear).
These infections can be caused by bacteria or viruses and are more common in children than in adults. If you suspect an ear infection, it’s important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
