Hi,
Baby has recurrent ARI with ear infections. She needs a complete course of Amoxicillin, if allergic, then switch to Linezolide.
Also, visit an ENT doctor for ear examination to rule out CSOM. Is there any hole in tympanic membrane?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
