A member asked:

Can my 3 year old son get sick from my 1 year old son who has 2 ear infections?

Not from ears: Ear infections themselves are not communicable. The viral infection that the ear infected son has may be contagious. Then the other child may come down with an ear infection. But otherwise, no. No communicable.

Maybe: If they live under the same roof and play together, yes.
