Abstract
Antimicrobial prophylaxis for children who have frequently recurring, severe episodes of acute otitis media appears to constitute a reasonable management option, even though it is not yet clear whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and risks. It remains for well-designed and well-executed studies that extend over relatively long periods to indicate whether this approach to management is the best of the available options, and if so, which of the available drugs is preferable.Keywords
