Otitis media is an ear infection disease common to children. The recommended antibiotic treatments are the amoxicillin and penicillin. The nurse must question what other alternative antibiotics should the doctor prescribe. Probably, penicillin would be good. Also, various medicines can also be used like cefuroxime depending on the patient's compatibility.
