Human: What are some of the most common types of ear infections in children? Assistant: 
Some of the most common types of ear infections in children include acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), and chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). AOM is an infection of the middle ear that causes pain, fever, and a buildup of fluid behind the eardrum. OME is characterized by hearing loss due to fluid accumulation in the middle ear space. CSOM is a long-term condition caused by bacteria that can lead to damage of the middle ear bones or mastoid bone.
