Could an Earache Be a COVID-19 Symptom?

Updated January 18, 2021

Thomas A. Russo, MD, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, was quoted in an article about how many patients have shared stories of their earache COVID symptoms online. The story was first reported in Prevention, where Russo confirmed to the publication that coronavirus patients could have earache symptoms, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t list earaches as a common coronavirus symptom.
