A member asked:
Can you have an ear infection without pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: To have pain with an ear infection the infected material must build up pressure on the ear drum causing it to stretch or cause direct irritation to the drum itself. Some kids or adults will have an infection that doesn't do either.
