Hello
Your doctor is right.The most common cause of ear infection in this age is improper positioning of baby during feeding.Feed himin slight upright posture.
The doctor has prescribed right medication as taxim o has good coverage for the organism causing ear infection.There is also one antibiotic ear drop for local application. He has taken good care of pain and nasal blockade too.
If there is no improvement in next 72 hours revisit your doctor for reevaluation.
