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).
