Can I get a new prescription for antibiotics without having to go to the emergency room?

Question

My 3 year old daughter finished her antibiotic 14 days ago to treat an ear infection. The ear pain symptoms have returned with the onset of a new cold. Can I get a new prescription for antibiotics without having to go to the emergency room? Thank you for your collaboration have a nice day!

Good morning, ma'am, No, the pharmacist cannot prescribe an antibiotic for this indication because it requires a diagnosis that can only be made by a physician For the current symptoms, the administration of acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra and other brands) and nasal hygiene with saline solution are the first treatment intentions. If his symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement , you should consult a doctor. I hope I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist It made my day, good day to you too!
