No, its not contagious. But it can come from a bad cold that they all had and it just progressed into an ear infection.

yes it is contagious because the ears nose and throat are connected. and so through a runny nose a cough or a sneeze an ear infection can be caught

No, the ear infection is not, but the virus or the cold that caused it can be.

an actual ear infection is not, but the virus that is causing one is. Like sinus drainage, or a cold, etc.
Get my drift???
Somthing is causing it to be infected. Probably just sinusitis or drainage.

It probably is viral in origin.
