Whether prescribing an antibiotic for a child with acute otitis media or not, the parents should be educated about:
 
  1. Using decongestants to provide faster symptom relief
  2. Providing adequate pain relief for at least the first 24 hours
  3. Using complementary treatments for acute otitis media, such as garlic oil
  4. Administering an antihistamine/decongestant combination (Dimetapp) so the child can sleep better

Question 2

Alyssa is a 15-month-old patient who has been on amoxicillin for 2 days for acute otitis media. She is still febrile and there is no change in her tympanic membrane examination. What would be the plan of care for her?
 
  1. Continue the amoxicillin for the full 10 days.
  2. Change the antibiotic to azithromycin.
  3. Change the antibiotic to amoxicillin/clavulanate.
  4. Change the antibiotic to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
