### Patient: I have been having ear pain and discharge. I think I might have acute otitis media. 
### Doctor: You will need a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Cefdinir, Ofloxacin, Cefprozil, and Cefixime are effective against the bacteria causing the infection. In addition, Benzocaine topical will provide temporary relief of pain. If you experience any allergic reactions to penicillin, we may need to perform a skin test with Benzylpenicilloyl Polylysine (Pre-Pen). However, Prednisolone-Sodium Sulfacetamide Ophthalmic is not used to treat ear infections.
