Hello,

Middle ear infection may cause fluid accumulation or tympanic membrane ruptured or hearing loss. Yes it is possible that it may spread to other ear also. Use antibiotics to control infection. In case of no improvement may need drainage of infectious focus. Avoid allergic food and cool drinks that aggregate the problem. Please follow with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
