Antibiotics for acute otitis media in children

Roderick P Venekamp, Sharon Sanders, Paul Glasziou, Chris Del Mar et al.

Short summary

Antibiotics offer only a slight benefit for pain relief in children with acute otitis media (AOM) after the first 24 hours and a modest effect on tympanic membrane perforations and abnormal tympanometry findings, with a notable increase in adverse events like vomiting and diarrhea (NNTH 14).
