Hi all, I know that there are probably loads of old threads on this but I am at work and do not have the time to trawl.

Ds (17 months) has his second appointment yesterday at the hospital. We first went 3 months ago and they decided to do nothing and see if the problem would correct itself. It hasn't. The fluid is present in both ears and his ear drums are red and inflamed. But there is no infection. He failed his hearing test (again). The specialist has prescribed a 3 week course of antibiotics, and we have to go back and see him in December.

Is there anything I can do to help my ds, I really do not want to have to go down the surgery route, but am also worried about ds taking antibiotics for so long.

TIA
