Either sounds ok: Very little, if any, research is done on most supplement products sold. That means nobody truly knows what's really in such products, and nobody truly knows the full actions, interactions, and side effects of such products. That said, there should be no noticeable effect of either the gummy or the syrup on a person's antibiotic use or her ear infection.
