[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...In my late teens I suffered from scarlet fever and glandular fever in quite short succession of each other, I was quite ill with both of them. Now Im in my late 20s and have finally been diagnosed with a hearing problem which my specialist thinks was probably caused by this. Ive never thought about any long term side effects before, but Im aware that whenever I get a cold or the flu I get really ill with them and it takes me a lot longer than most to recover whenever Im ill with anything. Could this also be related to having these 2 fevers when I was younger? Or just a coincidence?
[|AI|]  Hiwelcome to ChatDoctorI read your history n can understand your concern. Scarlet fever is streptococcal bacterial infection and glandular fever is a viral flue. Both the disease takes its own time to resolve, it depends on each individual immune system. And your hearing problem is not because of these two. But whenever u get cold, there will be slight decrease in hearing because of E tube blockage. Don't worry. Better meet ENT doctor. Thank you take care
