Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 1.3 year old has ear pain and doctor has suggested otorex ear drops along with augmentin dds dry syrup and mucolite drops. I had refrained from giving the baby the antibiotic and had only administered only the ear drops. But after two days baby still cries of ear pain is it safe to go ahead with the antibiotic. Thank you
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the symptoms persists even after 2 days, it is advisable to give antibiotics, cause it would help if any infection is occurring. There is no harm in giving the antibiotics unless the child is sensitive to it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Noor Us Saba Z
