What Does Ear Infection With Drainage In Both Eyes Mean?
My 5 year old has a middle ear infection. Due to a yeast problem in his gut (he's currently on nystatin), we are waiting to see if the ear infection may be viral and resolve on its own. So we've postponed the antibiotics for a few days. But now he also has a lot of eye drainage in both eyes. Does that mean it's a bacterial infection? If so, will that ever go away without antibiotics?
