Ear infections are the most common reason kids visit the doctor. Help parents understand the causes of ear pain and provide them with tips on how to identify and treat ear infections.
Watch and wait: Most ear infections get better in a few days
Cold pack: Put a cold wet washcloth on the outer ear for 20 minutes
Pain medicine: Give TYLENOL® or MOTRIN® to help reduce the pain; talk to a healthcare professional if you have questions or concerns
Antibiotics: About 80% of children with middle ear infections get better without antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about whether antibiotics may be right for your child.
In response to the overuse of antibiotics in pediatric care, organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) recommend that pediatric healthcare facilities implement Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASPs).
In an outpatient setting, the role of an ASP includes:
Establishing standardized approaches for antibiotic prescribing
Focusing on judicious use of antibiotics for acute respiratory tract infections
Discouraging antibiotic prescribing for undifferentiated upper respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, acute bronchitis, nonstreptococcal pharyngitis, and urinary tract infections in the absence of urinalysis
Encouraging judicious diagnosis of acute otitis media, acute sinusitis, and group A streptococcal pharyngitis
Ensuring that patients are prescribed the narrowest-spectrum antibiotics for the shortest duration of therapy that will optimize outcomes
