Prescription: You really should be very careful about prescription medications that weren't prescribed specifically for your son your son should really be evaluated and prescribed a medication specifically for him. Particularly for children, medicines are prescribed by weight. It also may not be the most appropriate drug for his condition. He really should be evaluated and a prescription given to him.

None: Unless he is seen by a doctor and the diagnosis confirmed, you place the kid at risk. The dose,frequency and duration are case specific. Does his pain come from a middle ear infection,a cholestatoma that is destroying the middle ear,or a dental problem with phantom ear pain?
