This is the infection called acute otitis media. The build up of pressurized pus in the middle ear causes earache, swelling, and redness. Since the eardrum cannot vibrate properly, you or your child may have hearing problems. Sometimes the eardrum ruptures, and pus drains out of the ear.
Ear pain may be the first symptom of an ear infection, especially if you have moderate to severe ear pain during or shortly after you have a cold. Other symptoms of an ear infection may include: 1  Swelling, heat, or tenderness around or behind the ear. 2  Redness of the ear, ear canal, or skin around or behind the ear. 3  Drainage from the ear that does not look like earwax. 4  Itching of the ear or ear canal. 5  Fever.
