10 Symptoms Of Middle Ear Infections
Symptom #5: Fever
Fever is a sign of many types of infections. It is also a possible symptom of middle ear infection. As in other infections, middle ear infection causes the body’s defense mechanism to kick in to attempt to destroy the infection-causing pathogens. One way for the body to deal with pathogens is by raising body temperature.
Disease-causing organisms multiply and grow best at their victim’s normal body temperature. By raising the body temperature, the defense system aims to make conditions unfavorable for the pathogens thereby causing their death.
