Ear infections may be cured with a new experimental antibiotic gel.

Usually kids take a 10-day oral pill that's not pleasing to the taste or smell, but researchers are testing a new antibiotic gel in lab animals.

The ear drop being tested would need to be squirted into the ear once.

Researchers are still testing the product, but say it's promising.
