i have a trouble with cleaning my kids ear and I know sometimes water can gets in his ear while taking a bath... is he more likely to develop an ear infection? and is it something really serious?

You should always refer to your pediatrician if you suspect something wrong. Outer ear infections usually occur when your child gets water in his ear, which may lead to inflammation and infection. Your child will have symptoms of an earache, that is worse when you move his outer earlobe. He may also have discharge from the ear and he should not have a fever. These infections are usually treated with antibiotic ear drops.

kids are really prone to ear infection especially otitis media. the anatomy of the child's ear make them prone to ear infections.
