my son has had 2 double ear infections in one month..?

Question:

what could cause this...hes always bundled up and when he takes his bath i clean his ears everyday, my husband smokes but outside and very rarely at home at all....am i doing something or not doing something?

Answers:
Otitis media is an infection in the ears and can be either bacterial or viral. It can be caused by many things, water in the ears, eustachian tube blockage (Prevalent in young children because they are not fully developed), Second hand smoke, etc. The buildup of fluid behind the tympanic membrane causes the pain and this must be relieved. Antibiotics are the answer.... see your doctor, your child may have to have myringotomy tubes to relieve the pressure.

I am not sure how old your son is, but my youngest had to have tubes in his. Then, with my oldest, they say that the sinuses are connected to the tonsils and recommended that he has them removed.
