Sore throats, ears and eyes, sentence 7
A middle ear infection fills the space behind the eardrum with fluid; most get better on their own in about three days, so painkillers are the main treatment; putting oil or anything else in the ear does not cure it.
Who acts: middle ear infection, most, painkillers, putting · What happens: fill, get, be, put, not cure · To what, where: space, eardrum, main treatment, oil, ear
