"Normal Anatomy Of A Ear "

The Eustachian tube is a passageway between the ear and the throat that lets air into the middle ear. This tube is longer in adults then in children, and more horizontal. Bacteria can easily travel from the throat to the middle ear. Bacteria can come from Strep Throat, Sinus, colds, and allergy. Once this infections enter the Eustachian tube it makes it way through the passageways entering the ear.  During a cold in the upper respiratory tracks, bacteria or viruses in the nose and throat may travel up the Eustachian tube to the ear causing an ear infection. The Eustachian tube to the ear, may become blocked and the middle ear my fill with pus. An excessive build-up of pus in the middle ear may put pressure on the eardrum and the eardrum may tear, or perforate. Pus and blood drain out through the ear canal, and this drainage may relieve the earache. Chronic ear infections and repeated eardrum perforations may cause permanent hearing loss.

"Treating Ear Infections "

                You will need your doctor for treating this kind of infection, and he or she will treat it with an antibiotic. And the kind of antibiotic will be up to your doctor.

 "Your next question "

                Well, one way is with pills, and the other way would be with an injection. Oh Yes: Bicillin will do the job and you can ask your doctor about it. Injections are faster and get right to work on the bacteria. It kills the infection within 24 to 36 hours. But pills take longer to kill bacteria infections. Bicillin will stay in the body for about four to six weeks.
