    Newborn around double ear infection

    I have a an 11 day old son, my niece who is 4 wants to come up and see him, she went to the doctor for drainage, and they said she has a double ear infection and allergies which is causing her to cough and her throat is red can she be around my son?? I know the ear infection is not contagious I'm mostly worried about the coughing she has. Can anybody shed some light on what I need to do on letting her be around him...none of my doctors are giving me a straight answer.
