Ear Infection that won't go away

Ear Infection that won't go away

My 10 month old has had an ear infection for awhile. She had one in October 2009 that went away with Amoxicillin. Then in Dec 2009 she had another, Amoxo did not work, so we did Augmentin, did not work. Now they want to do Omnicef. Wy won't it go away?

It may well be a viral infection rather than a bacterial one, in which case antibiotics won't help at all. The majority of ear infections are actually viral, but most doctors still give antibiotics for some reason. Is your daughter actually in pain with it, or having a fever?
