<s>[INST] How Are Ear Infections Treated? [/INST] Ear infections typically go away in a few days. Your pediatrician may suggest waiting for two to three days to allow symptoms to improve. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and extra fluids. Older children can take over-the-counter medicine for pain or fever. If your child doesn’t feel better after a few days, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about further treatment if your child has several ear infections a year.
