A member asked:

Started as sore throat. then runny stuffy nose. now ear infection. if ear left untreated can anything bad happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Otitis media: Although your body is usually capable of clearing ear infections without treatment, a persistent infection is capable of producing complications such as extension of the infection to other areas or hearing loss. Your doctor should be consulted if you are not feeling better soon.
