A member asked:

Hi i'm curious what's the symptoms of an ear infection and do you feel tired with it.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear pain: Ear infections will usually cause pain in the affected ear. If the middle ear is involved there usually is a fever too. You could also have trouble hearing. External ear infections may not have fevers but will cause pain. You should not be tired from an ear infection, unless of course you were up all night with the pain.
