The medical term for glue ear is ‘otitis media (with or without effusion)’. This is a very common condition in children up to eight years, but older children can also be affected. Fluid builds up in the space behind the eardrum, often as the result of the child having a cold. If this fluid does not drain away naturally, it can turn into a thick ‘glue’ that may need to be removed with surgery. One or both ears can be affected, and children can have varying degrees of hearing difficulty. Read this useful guide to learn more about glue ear.
