Symptoms of Ear infection

Symptoms of an outer ear infection include swelling, itching, and sometimes you might have fluid or yellow/green pus coming out of your ear. Infections of the outer ear don’t usually affect your hearing.

In a middle ear infection, the space behind your eardrum gets filled up with fluid or mucus, and gets infected. It can cause earache, high temperature, slight deafness, and children often feel tired or sick. Sometimes the eardrum bursts and fluid comes out of your ear.
