A member asked:
How does bacteria from sinus infection go to ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
URI: The sinuses and the middle ear are connected by various pathways, including the eustacian tubes to the middle ear, the nasoparynx and so on. Also the same organisms that usually infect the sinuses also infect other areas of the upper respiratory tract.
