Ear Infection

EAR BLOCKED &  INFECTION An ear infection occurs when a bacterial or viral infection affects the middle ear — the sections of your ear just behind the eardrum. Ear infections can be painful because of inflammation and fluid build-up in the middle ear. Ear infections can be chronic or acute. The causes of ear blockage blockage and infection  include allergies, colds, sinus infections, excess mucus, smoking, infected or swollen adenoids (tissue near your tonsils that trap harmful bacteria and viruses) and changes in air pressure.
