What is the treatment duration for Acute Otitis Media (AOM) for children aged 2-5 years?

5-7 days
7 days
10 days
3 days

The correct answer is: 7 days

The treatment duration for Acute Otitis Media (AOM) for children aged 2-5 years is typically 7 days. This is the recommended duration for a mild case of AOM, as it allows enough time for the antibiotics to effectively treat the infection and for symptoms to subside. Option A (5-7 days) may seem like a valid answer, but it is always best to follow the full recommended duration of treatment. Option C (10 days) may be too long for a mild case and increase the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Option D (3 days) is not a sufficient time period for the antibiotics to work and fully treat the infection.
