Ear infections occur primarily in the middle ear or to say ear canal. This is primarily caused due to cold where eustachian tube between ear and throat swell and due to swelling it is closed. Due to the closure of the tube, fluid enters the ear and bacteria grow. Body immune system tries to fight with the infection due to which pressure builds which is the main cause for the pain.
If this infection is not treated in time the eardrum could rupture. A single rupture of the eardrum does not causes loss of hearing but multiple rupture could cause it.
Children get more infections like this as their eustachian tubes are easily blocked due to colds which often occur to young children.
