  • Title: [Treatment of acute otitis media in children].
    Author: François M.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1998 Apr 15; 48(8):855-8. PubMed ID: 11767329.
    Abstract:
    Acute otitis media in children have to be treated by analgesics, antipyretics and antibiotics. The choice of the antibiotic depends on the child's age, associated clinical symptoms such as conjonctivitis, and any recent history of antibiotic treatment. Children over 2 are treated by amoxicillin or CG1, children with conjunctivitis are treated by amoxicillin + clavulanate acid, infants attending day care centers and with recent history of antibiotic treatment have to be treated by cefuroxim-axetil, cefpodoximproxetil or high dosages of amoxicillin. In case of unsatisfactory course of the disease, the infecting organism has to be identified by tympanocentesis.
