What Is a Middle Ear Infection?
4. Symptoms in Adults
Adults are likely to experience fewer symptoms than children, but middle ear infections can still be very uncomfortable for them. For example, adults are also likely to experience the pain that children do. Even for adults the severity of the pain can be unbearable at times.
Other symptoms in adults include difficulty hearing, and fluids draining from the ear. In both children and adults, you should contact a doctor again if the pain is particularly severe. You should also speak with a doctor if there is pus and/or a fluid containing blood draining from the ear. A dangerously high fever should also encourage you to speak with a doctor.
