My father aged 78 years is stroke patient for last 5 years. Presently he is on catheter(Urology). Presently i feel because of this catheter he has contracted infection.

Hello I have a 2 years old girl, she had a cough and a runny nose for 3 days now. I was giving her a cough syrup and vibrocil nasal drops. The doctor checked her today and said that she have ear infection and through infection, her voice is very weak ! You can hardly hear her. He prescribed an antibiotic for 7 days. I never gave her any. But he said since she has ear infection you must give her. Any recommendation ?

If there is Otitis media( infection in the middle ear) she must be promptly treated. Recurrent Otitis media can lead to hearing loss. ...
