EAR INFECTIONS
Our Question is…
 How do you get an ear infection?
Loud noises
Let’s say, you are at a traffic light. It is really
LOUD! This could cause an ear infection. If a
LOUD sound occurs it could also cause an ear
infection.
It’s mostly caused by…
Allergies, sinuses, viruses, germs, and bacteria .
Middle Ear Infections…
A small pocket filled with air behind your eardrum is
called your middle ear. You get middle ear infections when
germs get into your middle ear, and it fills up with fluid
or pus. The pus contains germ fighting cells. When the
pus builds up it feels like a hot air balloon that is
being over filled, and is about to explode. This can
REALLY HURT BADLY!
