Transmission of Ear Infections

Ear infections are usually caused by bacteria or viruses that enter the ear through the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. The tube can become blocked due to allergies, colds, or sinus infections, leading to fluid accumulation and an environment that is conducive to bacterial or viral growth. Other possible causes include trauma, exposure to irritants or pollutants, and genetics.

Preventing Ear Infections

Otitis media can be contracted mainly by children between 6 months and 2 years of age, children in group settings such as day care centers are more exposed to infections such as the common cold, infants who are bottle-fed especially while lying down, and children with bone structural differences such as cleft palate. Other factors also lead to ear infections and include exposure to tobacco smoke, and seasonal changes (fall and winter).
