Drugs for Acute Otitis Media in Children
February 7, 2022 (Issue: 1643)
More antibiotics are prescribed for treatment of acute
otitis media (AOM) than for any other infection in
young children. Children with AOM typically present
with otalgia, fever, and bulging and erythema of the
tympanic membrane.
The Medical Letter is a subscriber-funded nonprofit organization that publishes critical appraisals of new prescription drugs and comparative reviews of drugs for common diseases.
