What is the third line antibiotic for ear infections in pediatrics after amoxicillin and augmentin?

The third line antibiotic for ear infections in pediatrics after amoxicillin and augmentin is usually a cephalosporin, such as cefdinir, cefuroxime, or ceftriaxone. The specific antibiotic chosen will depend on the child's age, weight, and any known allergies. For severe infections, or those resistant to other antibiotics, other types of antibiotics may be given. For instance, levofloxacin is effective against pseudomonas species.
