Children 6-35 months old were study-eligible if they had 3 episodes of AOM in the preceding 6 months or 4 within the last 12 months with 1 episode within 6 months. Participants were randomized to bilateral tube placement or MM. MM consisted of treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanate (90 mg amoxicillin and 6.4 mg clavulanate per kg for 10 days); otorrhea in patients with tubes was treated with 0.3% ofloxacin drops, with amoxicillin-clavulanate prescribed...
