A member asked:
What is the best middle ear infection antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Most cases of otitis media (middle ear infection) may not need antibiotic treatment. When they do there are multiple choices and whether one is "better" than another depends upon the results and the potential for side-effects.
