Otitis media?: Do you mean an infection behind the eardrum, often called otitis media? A true "inner ear" infection is rare and serious. It involves the labyrinth/cochlea which is the sensory organ that transduces sound into electrical signals transmitted to your brain. Otitis media will often resolve quickly with antibiotics.

Otitis media: Middle ear space is often infected in children, adolescents & people who smoke or have allergies. This is because these situations lead to the eustachion tube to block easily. When a body space gets occluded, it is ripe for infection. To help heal these infections draining the cavity is a good treatment. This can be done by opening the eustachion tube: blowing, shrinking nasal mucosa with sprays.
