Signs of an ear infection
Earwax buildup that is not removed can potentially lead to infections. Contact your doctor if you experience the symptoms of infection, such as:
- Severe pain in your ear
- Pain in your ear that doesn’t subside
- Discharge from your ear
- Fever
- Persistent hearing loss
- An odour coming from your ear
- Dizziness
Furthermore, hearing loss, dizziness, and earaches may be attributed to other more serious health issues. See your doctor if any of these symptoms are frequent. A full medical assessment can help determine whether the problem is due to excess earwax or another health issue entirely.
