General ear infection is an inflammation or
infection of the middle ear. The infection often begins when a cold causes
swelling and close the tube connection between the middle ear and neck tube
called the Eustachian tube. Fluid that normally flows in case of cold
accumulates in the middle ear. Bacteria and viruses grow in the middle ear and
cause ear infection. This condition occurs most often in young children,
because in their case, Eustachian tube is shorter and lighter than it can block
the big kids or adults.
