Hello,
Yes, same organism (bacteria) causing ear infection can cause chest infection simultaneously. Complete the course of antibiotic and with good followup, and he requires a visit to a health clinic as he might require nebulization and IV medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
