I am wondering if I should reconsult, since he seems to have developed an ear infection in his right ear as well, even though he is already on antibiotics.

My child started an antibiotic 72 hours ago (7 doses received) for acute otitis media of the left ear. It is amoxil 90 mg/kg BID. Since this morning, he is picking at his right ear and seems to have pain.

The antibiotic seemed to help (along with the tylenol), as he regained his appetite and did not develop a fever again. On the other hand, he seems to be bothered by his right ear, which is new. He is a 1 year old child.

Good evening,
I would try for 48 hours ibuprofen which is an anti-inflammatory, therefore more powerful than acetaminophen. Of course, if his general condition deteriorates, do not hesitate to consult.

Hoping it will be useful, I wish him a speedy recovery and wish you a good end of evening.
