Fluid behind the eardrum, often referred to as middle ear effusion, is typically caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction, which can occur due to Allergies, sinus infections, or upper respiratory infections. When the Eustachian tube becomes blocked or fails to equalize pressure properly, fluid can accumulate in the middle ear. This condition can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, and increased risk of infections. Children are particularly susceptible due to the anatomical differences in their Eustachian tubes.
