When It Comes to Kids’ Ear Infections, Hold the Antibiotics
@Yahoo News – TUESDAY, Feb. 22 (HealthDayNews) — Your infant is running a fever and has been clingy and inconsolable most of the night. You immediately think “ear infection,” and rush to the doctor’s office for a prescription for an antibiotic.
At least that used to be the drill. But under new guidelines, pediatricians are more apt to recommend treating the pain but holding off on the amoxicillin. In fact, they may not prescribe an antibiotic at all.
That’s a message many pediatricians are sharing during February, Kid’s ENT (Ears, Nose, & Throat) Health Month.
The guidelines address the growing public health threat of antibiotic resistance. Because repeated and inappropriate antibiotic use creates “superbugs” — bacteria that resist even the strongest antibiotics — medical professionals are being urged to limit the overuse of these drugs.
