One-third to one-half of children with ear infections develop fevers. Fevers are more common in infants and toddlers. Although there are many other causes, the combination of fever and pain is most often an ear infection in infants and toddlers.

Children may be prone to ear infections for a variety of reasons. Some have immature immune systems; some have Eustachian tubes that are shorter, narrower, or less efficient; and some have other reasons that the Eustachian tube is more likely to become inflamed or blocked (such as allergies, GE reflux, or environmental irritants like tobacco smoke).
