Using Ceftriaxone to treat Acute Otitis Media

It seems in the last 3-6 months I’ve seen at least 1-2 kids a month that need a course of Ceftriaxone to treat ear infections that didn’t seem to respond to oral antibiotics. I’m only 3 years post residency. And in residency I think I probably saw a max of three kids that needed Ceftriaxone. I practice in the suburbs of an East Coast city. Maybe the number of cases I’m seeing aren’t that significant and so I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing anything similar in their practices?
