What is Ear infection?

Ear infections are common and can affect the outer, middle, or inner ear. Most are middle ear infections, especially in children, and often follow a cold or sinus infection.

What Are the Symptoms of a Ear infection?

Symptoms vary but often include:

Dizziness or balance problems

Ear pain or pressure

Fluid or discharge from the ear

Hearing loss or muffled sounds

Irritability (especially in children)

Tugging or rubbing the ear (in children)
