| | Middle Ear Infections |
 | | If you suspect that your child has an ear infection, he or she will need to visit the doctor, who should be able to make a diagnosis by taking a medical history and doing a physical exam. | | | The fact that most ear infections can clear on their own has led a number of physician associations to recommend a "wait-and-see" approach, which involves giving the child pain relief without antibiotics for a few days. | | | Whether or not the choice is made to treat with antibiotics, you can help to reduce the discomfort from your child's ear infection by using acetaminophen or ibuprofen (which you can buy over the counter at your local pharmacy or grocery store) for pain and fever as needed. |

| | eMedicine - Ureaplasma Infection : Article by Ken B Waites, MD |
| | Colonization of infants by genital mycoplasmal organisms may occur by ascension of the microorganisms from the lower genital tract of the mother at the time of delivery or by direct invasion of the fetus in utero. | | | Serologic studies are not useful for evaluating genital mycoplasmal infections. | | | Because of the frequency with which genital Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma organisms are carried in the lower urogenital tract in persons who are asymptomatic and sexually active, use of barrier protection methods (eg, condoms) is of little benefit because the organisms most often act as opportunistic normal florae. |
