  • Will antibiotic ear drop fix an ear infection?

    Hello- It depends. There are two types of ear infections. One that is in front of the ear and just in the ear canal. We call this swimmer's ear. Ear drops will heal this. However, there is another, more common type of ear infection. This is an infection behind the eardrum. This can't be cured by drops because the drops can't get to it. The eardrum blocks them. That's why this type of infection requires oral antibiotics. *Meg Meeker, M.D.* *Author, Pediatrician* *Parenting Great Kids* *www.meekerparenting.com * READ MORE

  • When does a cough need antibiotics?

    A cough alone rarely needs antibiotics. A cough can be caused by many types of infections- both bacterial infections as well as viral infections. Only bacterial infections are helped by antibiotics. Also- coughs can come from problems in the sinuses, throat, vocal cords (croup) and in the lungs. Allergies can cause a cough and so can asthma. These are a few examples of coughs that come from something that is not an infection. That's why it's important to see your doctor before taking medications for a cough- particularly in kids. Your doctor can determine where the cough is coming from and then after that decide whether the cough is most likely caused by a viral or bacterial infection and if it needs antibiotics, cough medications or even medication for allergies or asthma. *Meg Meeker, M.D.* *Author, Pediatrician* *Parenting Great Kids* *www.meekerparenting.com * READ MORE
