A member asked:

Can you go to school with ear infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There is no reason to alter a normal schedule for an ear infection.If the discomfort is such that the student could not focus on the material being studied, it would be reasonable to sit out until he or she is more comfortable. It is not contagious to others.
