A member asked:

Can a chest infection spread to another infection such as an ear infection if left untreated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Alhough the two areas are not connected, I have seen patients with pneumonia and an ear infection. These type of infections can start off as a head cold and then migrate down into your chest. I suppose this can depend from person to person. Please get checked if there is concern.
