A member asked:
If you don't have a spleen due to trauma and you have a ear infection with fever, should you go to hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly: Ear infections are localized issues and having a spleen or not has little if any significance. Be sure to bring up the general question of what times to be concerned when you visit with your doc.
