My son was diagnosed with this last night, and the Dr. gave him a prescription for antibiotics. He’s had 2 ear infections lately and I hate to give him more antibiotics if it’s unnecessary. I looked it up online and webmd was unclear and wikipedia said antibiotics shouldn’t be given for this problem, but it wasn’t specific on age or anything.
