LLERENA SANTA CRUZ, E. e RUIZ-CANELA CACERES, J.. Should we treat otitis with delayed antibiotics in infants?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.59, pp.271-273. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322013000400017.
Authors´ conclusions: the delayed antibiotic treatment doesn´t make worse the recovery from acute otitis media, assessed through improvement in signs and symptoms. Nevertheless the delay until the starting of antibiotics can be associated to a transient clinical deterioration with a longer period of symptoms and economic losses. Reviewers´ commentary: this study doesn´t provide valuable information to base a change in our clinical practice regarding the decision to treat early or not the otitis in children between 6 months and 3 years old. Further studies are needed to establish which of these patients may benefit from delayed treatment.
