A member asked:

After a couple rounds of atb, the ear infection still did not clear in my toddler. the doctor advised to let her body fight it. she had an avamys prescription refill, do you think that using the spray will help with avoiding further infections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe/not: Ear infections are common in toddlers due to the size/shape/position of the Eustachian tube that drains accumulated mucus from the middle ear. Some have 4-5/yr . After a couple rounds of abx success of more is minimal. If fluid/infection remain after 60-90 days the placement of a PE Tube is common to allow the middle ear to dry out.Residual debris is sucked out of the space during the procedure.
