Otitis media with effusion (OME) and ear infections are connected in two ways: 1  After most ear infections have been treated, fluid (an effusion) remains in the middle ear for a few days or weeks.  When the Eustachian tube is partially blocked, fluid builds up in the middle ear.
Having fluid in the ears does not mean you have an ear infection now and it does not indicate you had one in the past. It could mean you had one but it went away and you could also be more likely to get one in the future due to the fluid stuck in there.
