Rachel is feeling ill. Which symptom indicates that Rachel’s illness is related to her ear and that she should consult a doctor?

An ear problem can affect the inner ear, which helps control balance. Losing balance is therefore a symptom that may point to an ear-related illness and should be discussed with a doctor. Tooth sensitivity, neck or jaw pain, and sensitivity to light are less specifically linked to the ear.
