Can covid-19 cause a middle ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID-19 can cause upper respiratory symptoms, such as sinus congestion, which may cause middle ear pain, pressure, and muffled hearing. A middle ear infection, or Otitis media, is usually a bacterial infection commonly affecting the pediatric population. Otitis externa, or outer ear infection, usually causes discharge in the ear canal.
