A member asked:
Can you explain to me why infectious otitis media may result in simultaneous pharyngitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May co exist: The two may co-exist within the same patient at the same time but the otitis does not cause the throat infection.If anything, those with a pharyngitis are more likely to have eustachian tube swelling and retrograde invasion of the throat germ into the middle ear space.
