My 18-month old son has another ear infection immediately after the first one. what can i do to help him and to make sure it doesn't happen again? thx

This may not : Be a new ear infection. The first episode did not get a chance to totally cleared up and your baby started with colds, stuffy , runny nose etc again. Not unusual for children to get several ear infections before they turn two since their eustachian tubes are not angulated to drain the fluid behind the ears. Close ff up and supportive treatment.

Both sons are on amoxicillin (5 months for an ear infection & 2.5 years for strep). My husband and I are both allergic to amoxicillin (rashes). We told the doctor this but they were still prescribed. Would severe reaction happen immediately? Nervous?
