10 Symptoms of Ear Infections

Symptom #8: Headaches
A lot of people with ear infections end up experiencing headaches of various severity during their infection. The headaches can vary in type, as well: some might be dull and throbbing, whereas others might be sharp and acute.
The headaches don’t tend to be very serious during mild infections, but if you’re experiencing a persistent headache (for more than a day) or an extremely painful headache, in addition to other symptoms, this could be a sign of a more serious infection.
Children and babies tend to have a harder time dealing with headaches related to ear infections because they can’t really identify where the pain is coming from.
