10 Symptoms of Swimmer's Ear
Symptom #8: Fever
A fever is a very strong sign that your body has been invaded by a pathogen. Fever is one of the body’s main lines of defense against infection, heating up the body to make it an inhospitable place for unwelcome invaders. They are very effective and are often part of a system that’s responsible for literally saving our lives.
A fever is not common with swimmer’s ear and only usually arises in advanced cases. This makes it a strong indicator that you need to see a doctor. Remember that your inner ear is very delicate and can be permanently damaged by an infection, so it should not be taken lightly.
