10 Ruptured Eardrum Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Fever
The eardrum can be ruptured due to infections, barotrauma (pressure-related injury), and direct trauma from scratching or removing earwax.
This is a non-specific symptom that is associated with middle ear infections (otitis media). Given the fact that most of the eardrum ruptures are due to infections, it is common to associate symptoms like fever, pain, and pus drainage with this condition, but it is important to understand that these symptoms are caused by the underlying infection.
