Can Ear Infection Cause Delirium In A Child?

My 10 year old went to the doctor today and has a sinus and ear infection. Tonight he came down stairs after sleeping for about an hour yelling nonsense things and saying things like I need my beautiful tag and the table needs to move now because of watermelon. Like crazy things he was saying. After a few moments he calms down and asks me how he got down stairs. Can ear infections cause delirium. He seems fine now but he was dripping sweat and it was scary.

detected infection should be treated. in yelling heis talking means he has psychological problem. consult clinical psychologist for examination and counseling. that shows he is not in proper senses and doing a short of sleep walking. give proper history and proper consultation.
