Dear Mr XXXXXXX

If there is no associated discharge from the ear and no pain in the right ear there is no cause for concern.

The factors which could be causing tiredness could be

1. Decreased consumption of fluid
2. High humidity
3. Hot weather
4. Stress anxiety
5. Irregular intake of food
6. Decreased consumption of green leafy vegetables and vitamins in diet
