Hello,
Exposure to mycotoxins causes allergy-like symptoms, which can lead to sinus and ear infections.
The fluid accumulation in the middle ear can be due to exposure to mold.
If mould presence is confirmed in the apartment, it is best to move out until the issue is fixed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
