What are the common uses of Cefdinir (PO)?

  1. Cardiac surgery

  2. AOM

  3. Ocular infections

  4. Muscular dystrophy

The correct answer is: AOM

Cefdinir is an antibiotic and is commonly used to treat AOM (Acute Otitis Media, also known as ear infection). Cefdinir is not commonly used for cardiac surgery, ocular infections, or muscular dystrophy. Cardiac surgery typically requires other medications and interventions, ocular infections often require specialized ophthalmic medications, and muscular dystrophy requires a whole different approach to treatment. Therefore, Cefdinir is not the right choice for these conditions.
