What should you do when you hear pinging or rattling when accelerating 2000 Nissan maxima?

The first thing I would suggest is to use premium fuel, as the owner's manual recommends. You could also try fuel additives, such as an octane booster. However, I've had very limited success by using these products. Some sources also warn against their use. I don't know if the dealer can adjust anything with the computer or not. I read that the car's computer is supposed to recognize this problem, and correct for it. Perhaps it was a bit of the good old 'sales pitch' effect. None the less, I've driven several older-model Lincoln Towncars that would ping a lot, especially in the summer. As many people as I asked, and as many things I tried, the problem simply could not be remedied. I even read mention of the problem (believe it or not) in the Lincoln owner's manual! So that should tell you how incurable the problem might be. If there's a sure-fire, cheap, easy fix, I'm with you... that is, still looking for it. My 2000 Maxima pings as you described, but when I ask various "experts" about it, they look at me like I'm speaking an unknown language. If I ever find a conclusive resolution, I'll respond here.

What is the third line antibiotic for ear infections in pediatrics after amoxicillin and augmentin?

Augmentin is an excellent drug for ear infections. If there is no response to this drug it is better to culture ear discharge and check the sensitivity of the causative organism. Second generation cephalosporins are also very effective for ear infections. Sometimes anaerobic organisms can cause ear infection especially if is chronic. In that case metronidazole may be useful. Infection due to mycoplasma may be treated with erythromycin or another drug from the same group of drugs.
