Antibiotics for ear infection can cause side effects. A new research on the effect of antibiotics in children reveals that the use of antibiotic for ear infection may modestly help cure the infection in children, but can cause serious side effects like diarrhea or rash.
Complications of a middle ear infection can be caused by other serious problems. 1  Redness, swelling, pain behind the ear, and fever may be caused by an infection of the bone located behind the ear (mastoiditis). Pain will get worse when you press on the bone behind the ear. This infection is rare and usually occurs 10 to 14 days after a middle ear infection. Headache with severe stiff neck, irritability, confusion, and excessive sleepiness may be caused by an infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis). Severe dizziness (vertigo) and hearing loss may be caused by swelling and irritation in the inner ear (labyrinthitis).
