My dd is up crying her ear hurts. she's prone to ear infections. she has no fever. will they still treat with abx with no fever?

It Depends: It depends on what the doctor sees on the exam. If the ear has evidence of an acute infection that is localized to the ear, antibiotics may be indicated. In many cases these ear infections are still due to viral infections that don't respond to antibiotics. The main issue in that case is pain management. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen dosed according to the child's age is a place to start.
