What Is an Earache?
An ear infection, or otitis media, is a common problem. It happens when the middle ear gets inflamed. This is the space behind your eardrum.
Bacteria or viruses often cause it. Fluid builds up, causing pressure and pain. Ear infections are very common in children, but they also affect adults.
Symptoms of Earache
How do you know it’s an ear infection? Look for these signs:
- Ear pain: A sharp, sudden ache or a constant throb.
- Muffled hearing: Sounds seem quiet or distant.
- Fluid drainage: Liquid coming from the ear.
- Fever: Especially common in children.
- Feeling of fullness: Pressure inside the ear.
- Irritability: In young children who can’t tell you it hurts.
If you have these symptoms, treatment can help you feel better fast.
