A member asked:
Is my toddler contagious with ear infection and low grade fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An ear infection is not contagious, but the cold or upper respiratory illness he had that caused the ear infection is. Good rule of thumb is that he should be fever free for 24 hours before being considered not contagious.
