Experts Say Stop Antibiotics For Ear InfectionsParents of irritable children with ear infections should heed warning that antibiotics may no longer be prescribed for common ear infections. This initiative contradicts many years of pediatric advice and is expected to disappoint the sleep-deprived parents of whimpering toddlers with painful ear infections. Health officials are hoping to slow down the rise of antibiotic-resistant germs created by overuse of the drugs used to treat ear infections. The medical board must formally approve these guidelines before they are published to doctors. For a number of years, health officials have been emphasizing that the drugs should not be used for viruses such as colds because they don’t help. Experts feel the power of the antibiotics should be reserved for significant illnesses, where 80 percent don’t get better in a matter of days and can actually die. The currently proposed guidelines state that doctors would only be able to prescribe antibiotics for children with serious middle ear infections, such as acute otitis media, and simply use observation for milder cases. Approximately 10 million prescriptions are written for the 5 to 6 million children under age five suffering from ear infections each year. Studies have shown that antibiotics do very little for a child’s ear infection pain and common painkillers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen work just as well as prescribed antibiotics.
