  The most common type of ear infection is a middle ear infection followed by external ear infections like Otitis externa and Otomycosis. What causes a middle ear infection? The most common ear infection cause is the middle ear infection. 90% of the middle ear infections spread from the nose to the ear through the eustachian tube. What causes middle ear infection is a common cold or bacterial infection or chronic sinusitis. The secretions or phlegm from the nose travels to the back of the nose, called the nasopharynx. The middle ears open into the nasopharynx through the eustachian tube, i.e., designed to move air into the middle ear. When a person blows out his nose, it increases pressure in the nasopharynx. This pressure can push the phlegm from the nasopharynx into the middle ear through the eustachian tube. Whether it is due to common cold or chronic sinusitis treating the primary cause or source of infection is necessary for middle ear infection. Unlike in rhinitis or the

  We have logically two strong points to strengthen our argument. Speculations are going around that the rise in black fungus / mucormycosis in post-COVID-19 patients could be related to oxygen. Let it be the oxygen used traditionally in hospitals or industrial oxygen; we believe neither could be the cause. 1. Pure oxygen is toxic - black fungus cannot grow in industrial oxygen or oxygen cylinders Neither fungi nor bacteria can live in 100% oxygen, and even a human being cannot breathe pure oxygen for more than one or two hours. Likewise, there is no way a tiny fungus, mucor, or black fungus can live in dirty oxygen pipes or oxygen cylinders, or industrial oxygen. Mucor will not grow in oxygen cylinders. Let it be medical oxygen or industrial oxygen. 2. Sporangia cannot grow in water One more theory revolving around oxygen is that fungus spreads due to unhygienic water used in oxygen flow meters. The fungus can grow in water in the form of mycelia only, and Mycelia is like a pl
