Infectious disease: specialist should evaluate your daughter for the treatment of the recurrent c-diff infection, and for the choice of antibiotics to treat the double ear infection, she might need to be admitted, in general, avoidance of ampicillin, cephalosporins,clindamycin and flouroquinolones should be the first step,the status of her immune system needs evaluation as well by an alllergist/immunologist, goodluck

Needs consultation: C.diff is occasionally sen as a normal contaminant in infant poop,with or without antibiotic exposure.With this in mind you need to consult with a pediatric infectious disease specialist to sort out the idea your kid cannot have antibiotics. Otitis treatment before antibiotics ranged from nothing to draining the ear drums.We should avoid those choises if possible.
