Dr. Shalgham calls you and wants to know if she can give
Ciprofloxacin ear drops 3 times a day to a 16-month-old male
patient with an ear infection. He has a tympanic effusion,
and had a fever this morning. He has not had any antipyretics
since last night. The patient appears to also have strep
throat, so she is prescribing amoxicillin 250mg TID for 10 days.
The patient has NKDA. He has never had an ear infection
before.
