A member asked:
Could you catch pink eye from another person who only had an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Most pink eye is caused by viruses that cause conjunctivitis with or without other symptoms such as runny nose. Ear infections often follow coughs and colds. Conjunctivitis can also be allergic, irritant or bacterial.
