Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, which is the space behind the eardrum. It is most common in young children though it can occur at any age. Otitis media is often caused by a bacterial infection, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae, and it is usually a complication of cold or upper respiratory infection.
Symptoms may include abrupt onset ear pain in young children, increased crying, and poor sleep. Decreased eating and fever may also be present. Treatment may involve pain management, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics.
