Figure 2. Resolution of Children's Symptoms during the First 7 Days of Follow-up.

Figure 2

During the first 3 days, the Acute Otitis Media Severity of Symptoms (AOM-SOS) scale11,12 was administered twice daily; thereafter, it was administered once daily. Panels A and B show the proportion of children in whom symptoms had not resolved. Resolution of symptoms is defined in Panel A as the first recording of an AOM-SOS score of 0 or 1 and in Panel B as the second of two successive recordings of a score of 0 or 1. Panel C shows the mean scores on the AOM-SOS scale over the course of the first 7 days of the study treatment. Since multiple assessments were made on the first 3 study days, numbers on the x axis in all three panels indicate the end of a study day.
