Germs spread from the nose and throat to the middle ear, helped along by colds, flights and swimming.
Preventing Ear Infection
Treat colds early, avoid smoke, dry the ears after swimming and see a doctor if ear pain lasts more than a day or two.

The physician can evaluate your symptoms, advise whether it is likely viral or bacterial and prescribe treatment where suitable. When the eardrum needs to be seen, you will be asked to attend in person. Options may include pain relief and, where bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics.
