Chronic ear infections, An infection in the air-filled space behind the eardrum causes this condition. Some people are predisposed to ear infections. Because of the size and shape of their middle ears and Eustachian tubes, children aged 6 months to 2 years are the most vulnerable to infections. Ear infections are frequently caused by another illness that causes congestion and swelling, such as the common cold, flu, or allergies. Ear infections are painful and can result in hearing loss, fever, headache, and loss of balance. If your child develops multiple ear infections, it's time to consult with an ENT specialist. Recurrent ear infections may result in speech, social, and developmental delays because ear infections impair their ability to hear clearly. Chronic ear infections are commonly treated with ear tubes. An ENT surgeon makes a tiny hole in the eardrum to suction fluid from the middle ear during this procedure. Then a tiny tube is inserted into the opening to ventilate the ear and prevent future fluid buildup. Tubes typically remain in place for four to 18 months before falling out on their own.
