The most common causes of ear infections are either bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae, or viruses, such as those that cause seasonal flu or other upper respiratory infections. With that being said, ear infections can also be caused by allergies, changes in air pressure, infected or swollen tonsils, swimming in unclean water, or failing to dry out the outer properly after swimming or bathing. If you are dealing with an ear infection, our urgent care doctors and medical providers would be pleased to provide you with treatment at UCare Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic in El Paso, TX and Horizon City, TX.
