To learn how to prevent them, we must first know what infections are and what causes them. Infections occur after an illness. Bacteria can get trapped in the ear, bringing extra fluid and pain. There are three different types of infection of the ear.
This condition can occur without an infection and happens when fluid sits in the middle ear, making infections, when they come, harder to heal and damage your child's hearing.
Signs that your child may have an ear infection are your child tugging at their ears, fever, fluid drainage, trouble sleeping, taking several times for your child to hear what you are saying, and balance issues.
