A recent analysis of the evidence suggests that, in Western countries the use of antibiotics as initial treatment for children with acute otitis media benefits one out of 20 children by reducing pain in the acute phase. There is no evident benefit for deafness, recurrent attacks or complications. This suggests that we should use antibiotics less readily.
最近对证据的分析表明，在西方国家，将抗生素用作急性中耳炎患儿的初始治疗方法，每20名儿童中有1名会因在急性期减轻疼痛而受益。对于耳聋、反复发作或并发症并无明显益处。这表明我们应该不那么轻易地使用抗生素。
