From CNN/The Chart blog (2/25):
Antibiotics for acute otitis media should only be prescribed in
children ages 6 months and older presenting with serious signs or
symptoms, the AAP said. In the group's
revised ear infection guidelines, published in the journal Pediatrics,
pediatricians are advised only to diagnose acute ear infections if the
eardrum is moderately to severely bulging or if there is discharge
leaking from the ear.
