Should you use antibiotics to treat acute otitis media in children?
Abstract
Antibiotics are not necessary to treat uncomplicated acute otitis media (AOM) in an otherwise healthy child (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, systematic review). Children younger than 2 years and children with bilateral infection, high fever, or vomiting may experience modest symptom relief from antibiotics (SOR: B, cohort studies).
