➤ When is emergency care required for suspected ear infection?
Go to the emergency department for sudden complete hearing loss, confusion, high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, facial weakness, low blood pressure, or rapid heart rate. Also seek urgent care for swelling behind the ear, persistent vomiting, or altered mental status. These signs suggest sepsis or intracranial extension needing immediate treatment.
