Effect of antibotics on acute otitis media in children.
Description
Data from a randomized clinical trial comparing two antibiotics, amoxicillin and cefaclor, for treating acute otitis media (AOM) in children.

Format
A data frame with 30 observations and five variables:
- age

antibiotic treatment (amoxicillin or cefaclor)
- clear
number of ears clear of AOM 14 days after treatment
- affected
number of ears affected by AOM before treatment (unilateral or bilateral)
