10 Middle Ear Infection Symptoms
Symptom #4: Fever
Fever is yet another symptom of a middle ear infection, especially in children. As with other infections, otitis media can lead to a rise in body temperature as the body’s defense system fights against the pathogens causing the infection. The patient may also get chills.
When a fever is a result of middle ear infection, it is accompanied by other symptoms such as ear pain, swelling, and a feeling of dulled hearing. Children also tend to tug at their ear as a response to the discomfort they experience.
