Fighting Infection

Most children experience the pain of ear infections, which typically occur when a cold, throat infection, or allergy attack causes fluid to become trapped in their middle ear. The small part of the ear behind the eardrum, the middle ear gets infected when germs from the nose and throat are trapped. Dr. Kipp Ardoin, a pediatrician on staff at Memorial, discusses ear infections in children, including their cause and possible treatment options.
