Could Hoarse Voice Be Due To Ear Infection?

My 4 year old son was diagnosed with an ear infection 2 days ago. Yesterday he woke up with a hoarse voice, but no pain. Today his voice has gotten worse. He is talking in a wihisper. Is this caused from the ear infection, and will the antibiotics help this?

more suggestive of a viral croup than bacterial. ear infection/ congestion followed by hoarseness. look for any respiratory difficulty in him. timely nebulisation with adrenaline will help
