A member asked:
I have an ear infection, laryngitis and conjunctivitis. are they related to each other in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Your ear, and throat are actually connected via small tubes. This means an infection in one could be spread to the other. The eye could have been infected through the lacrimal gland, tear duct, or you could have coughed on your hand and then rubbed the eye. To see all three areas infected is not unusual.
