How Can Recurrent Ear Infections With Bulging And Redness Be Treated?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My daughter is 13 months old and on her 3rd ear infection. First time before x-mas, one ear, given amox. Second time, 3 weeks ago, one ear, given amox. Third time, last week monday-had just finished the med from the second one the week before, both ears, red and bulging-given augmentin. She was ok in the first couple days but has gotten worse-screaming when layed down, doesnt want to lay to go to sleep, waking up through the night, doesnt want to eat. They told me she is fine, but they are still red but not bulging anymore and to give her motrin or something and wait it out. I gave her advil with no effects at all, this is her 9th day on the augmentin-tomorrow being the last day. What should I do, should I take her to the er or another pediatrician for another opinion?

Pediatrician 's  Response
hi, welcome to this forum. The antibiotic that you are giving is given in acute suppurative otitis media. Even after 9 days of antibiotic if the redness is persisting then we should look for other causes of infection. You should get the child examined by ENT specialist doctor. Take care.
