10 Middle Ear Infection Symptoms
Symptom #9: Poor Appetite
Similar to other health conditions, a middle ear infection can lead to poor appetite. This happens because a lot of energy is being directed to fighting the infection. Additionally, eating may increase the feelings of discomfort and earache. Many people may therefore minimize eating to avoid the increase in pain.
Otitis media may also present with flu-like symptoms like fever and headache. This can mean that you do not feel like eating. However, it is important that you eat regularly even during the illness in order to provide the body with the energy and nutrients needed to fight the infection.
