Avoid antibiotics as 90% resolve in 7days
If Centor score 3 or 4: (Lymphadenopathy; No

OM resolves in 60% in 24 h without antibiotics
Optimise analgesia; abx don’t prevent deafness

start oral antibiotics and refer

General Advice





Lower threshold for antibiotics in immunocompromised or those with multiple morbidities.
Prescribe an antibiotic only when there is likely to be a clear clinical benefit.
Limit prescribing over the telephone to exceptional cases.
Use simple generic antibiotics if possible. Avoid broad spectrum
Avoid widespread use of topical antibiotics (especially
Useful Information




Cold and flu symptoms will not get any better with antibiotics.
50 % who visit for cold and flu expect anibiotics and 25 % want reassurance.
25% of those prescribed anitibiotics do not finish them; some keep them for future use.
If you have had antibiotics in the last 6 months the next infection is twice as likely to be resistant to antibiotics.
Antibiotic Stewardship (AS)


Antibiotic stewardship refers to the optimal selection of antibiotics for use at the correct dose and duration to maximise clinical outcome while
diminishing toxicity and minimising the impact on antimicrobial resistance.
‘Start smart, then focus’ is an initiative that aids AS. ‘Start smart’ consists of avoiding antibiotics when there is no clinical evidence of bacterial
infection, using local prescribing guidelines and considering allergies.. ‘Then focus’ calls for a review of antibiotics therapy at 48 hours if there is no
improvement with cessation of antibiotics, switching to an alternative or IV therapy.
