The microbes that cause earaches usually show up first as a respiratory infection in your nose or throat. All it takes is a little push-you blow your nose, you lie down-and the viruses or bacteria move into your eustachian tubes. These are tiny channels that connect your nasal passages to your inner ears. From there, it's a short trip to the middle ear and your eardrum, which is laced with sensitive nerve endings. The infection creates pus, which pushes against your eardrum, causing pain. It can even make the eardrum burst. Children get more earaches because they have more respiratory infections and because their eustachian tubes are immature and unable to handle even a small infection. Other causes of earache include swimmer's ear, which can happen when excess water is trapped in the ear canal. Earaches can also be triggered by hair and other objects that get stuck in the ear.
