Thanks for your question, I am Dr Asanghanwa, I would say your child is suffering from a condition known as acute Otitis media, which is mostly due to bacteria. The most appropriate antibiotic for her is a combination of amoxicilline and clavulanic acid given her age as the germs are more sensitive to this rather than just amoxiciline. I also would advise you get to a pediatrician once you get into town for proper examination and tests. Keep on administering the tylenol thrice daily. Good luck.
