Half the UK population has now had at least one jab against Covid-19 and Public Health England says the vaccines have already saved at least 6,000 lives and stopped many becoming ill.
But for all its success, the rollout has raised questions about rare but serious side-effects. The one that’s caught the public eye is the very slight risk of blood clots from the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Even though there’s no proof the jab is to blame, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has recommended that adults under 30 are offered one of the other vaccines available, to be on the safe side.

However, the agency does note that this list doesn’t cover all possible symptoms. For instance, skin rashes and pink eye have also been linked to COVID-19, but more research is needed to understand how these side effects are linked to the virus.
Is an earache a symptom of COVID-19?
The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn’t list earaches as a symptom of COVID-19 and ear symptoms are not routinely asked about as part of COVID-19 screening questions in the U.S. Like the CDC, the WHO simply confirms that you may experience “aches” from the coronavirus.
But doctors agree that it’s possible to experience an earache from COVID-19, even though it doesn’t seem to be a common symptom like a fever or dry cough. “It’s on the spectrum of symptoms you would expect,” says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

With rapidly increasing COVID-19 cases, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of the Coronavirus infection. The COVID-19 infection primarily impacts the upper respiratory system. According to studies, there are several symptoms like diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and nausea which should not be taken lightly.
A study published in the International Journal of Audiology said that the COVID-19 infection can lead to auditory problems. The researchers found 56 studies that identified an association between COVID-19 and auditory and vestibular problems. If you are experiencing some kind of hearing impairment, then that could be a sign of coronavirus.
