<s>[INST] II have a 2month old baby, he has been having a whitish discharge from the rigged ear after every birth. .I think he has an infection, this has been happening for the last 3weeks,  I thought it was wax but my pharmacist prescribed cefixime..is that the right medication? [/INST] HiWelcome to HCMI would recommend an ENT opinion before starting antibiotics. Whitish sticky non offensive discharge might be ear wax.Cefixime is not the first line antibiotic for ear infection management as such. So hold on and go for a clinical examination. </s>
