How to understand Symptoms of acute middle ear infection

healthydailymail.com "Health News" An acute middle ear infection can be triggered soon after your child gets a cough or a runny nose. Symptoms can include:
  • earache
  • deafness
  • a high temperature
  • a general feeling of being unwell, including feeling sick and a loss of appetite
  • irritability
  • blood and pus coming out of their ear (if the eardrum bursts)


You may also notice your child tugging at their ear. As mucus and pus build up in your child's middle ear, they may feel as though their ear is blocked, which can be very uncomfortable. Eventually, the eardrum may burst as a result of the pressure. After this happens, it's likely to be less painful. A burst eardrum sounds nasty, but they usually heal on their own within a few days.

The symptoms of acute middle ear infection usually clear up on their own within four days. If you’re concerned about your child’s symptoms or if they get worse at any time, see your GP.
