What Are the Symptoms of a Middle Ear Infection?
Middle ear infection symptoms can vary, but usually involve:
- Ear pain
- Difficulty hearing
- Headache
- Fluid draining from the ear, which may be clear, bloody, or pus-like
- Fever (in children)
Many viral ear infections will clear on their own in about a day, but it’s important to seek medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 24 hours, are severe, keep you awake at night, or include ear drainage.
