The Canadian Pediatric Society has recommended that there is no need for routine antibiotics for ear infections in kids. Dr. Joan Robinson, author of the statement, said that some infections are actually caused by viruses and do not respond to antibiotics.
"Overuse of antibiotics is leading to resistance and the day may come when we no longer have oral antibiotics available for treatment of common infections," Robinson said. Almost all kids suffer from ear infection by the age of five and usually develop them on the third day of suffering from a bout of cold.
