A member asked:

What do doctors do and prescribe for babies with ear infections????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Verify/age adjust: The primary issue is to verify a treatable problem is there. Some are viral & would self heal. Some are just fluid that is benign. Some have a puss collection that needs help with antibiotics, If needed, these are selected and dosed based on the kids age & allergy profile.
