Is Ear Pain,cold And Rashes Problem Related To Eustachian Tube?

Hello my son is almost 3. He had ear pain and a cold, and now has perforated an eardrum. He also complained that his eyes were a little sore - they don t look it but he blinks a lot in the morning. Now there s a small rash which has appeared around the affected ear and under the eye next to it. Is this indicative of a eustachian issue? He is very happy and healthy otherwise.

Hi... I do not think that this is an eustachian tube catarrh. I feel that your son is having an acute otitis media or middle ear infection, along with some rash which is going on around his pinna. I suggest that he will require antibiotic therapy and you consult your pediatrician regarding this.
