Can an earache cause nausea dizziness or fatigue?
It wouldn't necessarily be the earache that would cause the dizziness, nausea and fatigue but rather it is most likely the cause of the earache that is having this affect. It actually sounds like typical symptoms of congested sinuses and a sinus infection. You see the sinuses are connected to the ear via the eustaschian tube. When the sinuses are cognested they create pressure in the head that can cause blocked ears or earaches, and when there is a sinus infection you may eve develop an ear infection. The dizziness can also be due to the pressure that is being created in the head by the sinuses. The farigue is a sign that there is an infection because an infection runs down the immune system leaving your body tired and weak. It also seems possible that the person could have post nasal drip, because of the nausea symptom. You see post nasal drip often occurs when the sinuses are congested. Post nasal drip happens when you can't drain mucus through the nose because your nose or your sinuses are blocked. So the mucus is drained down the back of the throat.
