The medical name for what people typically refer to as a "ear infection" is acute otitis media, which simply means a sudden infection in the middle ear (the space behind the eardrum). It is possible for anyone, including children and adults, to have an ear infection; nevertheless, ear infections are one of the most prevalent reasons why young children visit their pediatricians or other medical professionals. Ear infections typically get better on their own after some time has passed. Your healthcare professional may suggest a medicine to help relieve the discomfort that you are experiencing. Your healthcare practitioner may decide to administer an antibiotic if the ear infection has become worse or if it has not improved despite previous treatment. In most cases, an antibiotic is required to treat ear infections in children who have not yet reached their second birthday.
