10 Symptoms of an Ear Infection
Symptom #2: Irritability
Irritability refers to the state where one feels frustrated, aggravated, or prone to anger. It can be seen in high pressure or stressful situations. In young children who are still unable to speak and express themselves, irritability usually means that there is something wrong.
This means that the child is crying more frequently, has a poor appetite, restless, unable to sleep, and becomes fussy. In these cases, parents should take note of the child’s behavior as it may have important hints such as tugging at the ear. Other associated symptoms include fever and possible weight loss.
