This type of ear infection is called otitis media. It usually requires antibiotic treatment in order for resolution to occur. However, with recurrent infections, especially in young children, tubes sometimes need to be placed through the eardrum in order to drain the excess fluid. This surgical procedure, performed by an ENT surgeeon (Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon, or otorhinolaryngologist) is termed a myringotomy with tubes surgery.
