A member asked:

9 mo fluid in ear is getting yellow & eardrum looks red. should i start her on septra (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) right away or wait it out? fluid not infected last week @ ent.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait and see ENT: It has been determined that for many years ear infections have been treated too frequently with antibiotics when most will resolve without antibiotics.
