Ear Infection: What Side Should I Sleep On?!

Question: I have had an ear infection for about a week with drainage. I also have a sinus infection. Should I sleep on the infected ear so it can drain or on the other side so the mucus can flow out of the Eustachian tubes?

I think I'd go for the the ear and let that drain out because my husband had meningitis from an ear infection which spread10 years ago and nearly died.
