10 Rubella Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Earache
Earaches are most commonly felt in one ear although in some cases, both ears suffer. Apart from the pain, patients may also experience muffled hearing or fluid drainage from the ear. Earaches are a sign of viral infection. Although ear infections are rare, they can still happen to rubella patients. The cold-like symptoms can trigger an infection in the sinus nerve causing the ear infection.
Rubella can cause middle ear infection, or the inflammation of the eardrum, or labyrinthitis, which is an infection in the inner ear. Patients who feel a dull or burning pain in their ear should call their doctor.
