If your child simply has an ear infection but no cold symptoms, he or she is not necessarily contagious. What is the difference between fluid in the ear and an ear infection? Acute otitis media (middle ear infection) means that the space behind the eardrum - the middle ear - is full of infected fluid (pus). If there is no fluid, there is no ear infection, no matter how red the eardrum appears. Sometimes, the fluid behind the ear is not infected, but instead is clean (sterile).
Nadolol is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) in people with high blood pressure, a previous heart attack, or heart failure.
What is octreotide? Sandostatin (octreotide) is a man-made protein that is similar to a hormone in the body called somatostatin. Octreotide lowers many substances in the body such as insulin and glucagon (involved in regulating blood sugar), growth hormone, and chemicals that affect digestion. Sandostatin is used to treat acromegaly. Octreotide is also used to reduce flushing episodes and watery diarrhea caused by cancerous tumors (carcinoid syndrome) or tumors called vasoactive intestinal peptide tumors (VIP adenomas). Sandostatin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
