Viral infection is best treated with rest, (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain. Amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for treating bacterial ear infections. If the bacteria is amoxicillin-resistant then cephalosporins are used. Cefuroxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic.
Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) reduces fever and relieves pain. It does not reduce swelling, as do nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, but it is less likely to cause stomach upset and other side effects.
