An ear infection can be caused by bacteria or a virus. It happens when fluid builds up in the area behind your baby's eardrum and then becomes infected. Normally any fluid that enters this area leaves pretty quickly through the eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat.
There are a number of reasons why ear infections are much more common in younger children than older children and adults, Dr. Young said. When there is poor ventilation of the middle ear through the eustachian tube, ear infections are more likely to occur. Doctors call this kind of infection otitis media. This tiny tube, the length of a Barbie doll's hand, links the middle ear to the throat. In younger children, this tube is smaller and shorter.
