A member asked:
Would augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) xr work for if suspected an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,but...: It would, but for the average middle ear infection, it has a much broader spectrum of activity than is needed. A narrower spectrum antibiotic will work and is usually safer.
