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
