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.
In the past, it was thought that the fluid got thicker the longer it was present in the ear. (Glue ear is a common name given to OME with thick fluid.) However, fluid thickness is now thought to be related to the ear itself, rather than to how long the fluid is present.
