2 1/2 yr old has a temp of 102.5 / complaining of ear pain. if infected this will be her 3rd in 2-3 months. back to dr? why aren't antibiotics working

Back to MD good idea: Repetitive episodes of otitis media can produce significant long term damage to hearing. There are ENT physicians who specialize in the management of children's ears and would suggest you find one in your area and have them evaluate and suggest.
