How do you fix ear infection?

Answer 1

Between your middle ear and your throat there is a passage called the eustachian (say: yoo-stay-she-un) tube. The eustachian tubes (you have one on each side) keep pressure from building up by letting air move in and out of your middle ear. When you were young, especially before you turned 3, the eustachian tubes were very small and less able to keep germs out.

The eustachian tubes get longer and usually work better in older kids, but they can still cause problems. If you have Allergies or catch a cold, the eustachian tubes can get blocked up and let germs get in the middle ear. Then the number of germs can grow inside your middle ear and cause an infection.

You do not catch ear infections from other people, though you might catch a cold that then leads to an ear infection. If you have an ear infection, you might have ear pain, a fever, or trouble hearing. If you have any of these problems, tell your parent so he or she can take you to the doctor.
You might be talking about ear piercing infections, or just a regular ear infection, but I will try to answer both.

For ear piercing: MOST PEOPLE DON'T CLEAN THEIR HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING OR DOING ANYTHING WITH THEIR EARRINGS. That's how most people's earring holes get infected, so always wash your hands before doing anything with your earrings! Also, some people might have sensitive ears, and you get the wrong type of earrings when you get your ears pierced. (That's what happened to me). Or, when you are allowed to take your earrings out, some people will like keep only the cheap earrings in, which is not the best idea if you have sensitive ears because those are not hypoallergenic earrings.

General Ear infections: to much ear wax in your ears without cleaning it out can cause an ear infection, but that's the only reason I really know of...sorry!

• Ear can be infected when it continuously or frequently gets wet with water.

• Infection is also possible if you are suffering from cold (or sinus) for a long time.

• Sometimes, tooth infection and throat infection may also cause ear infection.

• Ear infection can also be caused by any foreign substance entering the ear.

Ear, Nose and Throat have a very close relation. Moreover, they are interconnected either directly or indirectly. So, infection of any one of these may lead to the infection of others.

Answer 2

One way you may get ear infection is by being around someone who smokes. People who are around people who smoke are more likely to get ear infection than a person who is not around a person who smokes.

Answer 3

Get antibiotics from a hospital after setting up an appointment.
