That is, very often otitis and runny nose Go hand in hand. The cause of otitis can be the stranger, and such infectious diseases like Scarlatina, King and T.D. Otitis can develop against the background of the inflammation of the carious tooth, ear injuries, after cleaning the ears of unpredictable items (pins, matches). Otitis causative agents can penetrate the ear and with blood flow (with infectious diseases).
In the risk zone - children under six years (due to the physiological characteristics of age), allergies and everyone who has surpassed any infectious disease.
