Antibiotics for otitis media

2023-03-09 18:27:11
Hi! My 4 month nephew got middle ear infection with pus and fever. We consulte 2 doctors and both of them prescribed antibiotics, one augmentin and one zifi. So, which antibiotics are usually prescribed in this case and that works without having to go another round with other antibiotics, an antibiotic that would work without major side effects? Is one of these okay? Thanks!

A high dose of Augmentin is the drug of choice. The only side effect may be the change in consistency of stools. Continue for 10 days.
