Doctors are trying new approachs now that the germs that cause ear infections in children are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics.

[VO-NAT]
Strep pneumonia is the most common cause of ear infections. The Centers for Disease Control says it is drug resistant 50% of the time. So the C-D-C says it has developed a battle plan for middle ear infections.
It still calls for the use of Amoxicillin, but because of the resistance, the dosage is doubled. That means a five year old child will get an adult dose.
The higher dose should kill the resistant germs, but it could mean more side effects especially stomach problems.
If the infection doesn't clear up in three days, doctors are advised to move on to something stronger.
The C-D-C blames the overuse of antibiotics, especially for the common cold, for the problem with drug resistant germs in children.
