Middle ear infections keep recurring. Is surgery the only option?

Children's eustachian tubes (the passage connecting the ear and nose) are short and flat, making them prone to otitis media whenever they catch a cold. Unless it's chronic, treating the nose (rhinitis) to normalize eustachian tube function will allow the fluid to drain naturally.

귀의 문제는 코에서 시작됩니다.

  • 항생제: 삼출성 중이염(물이 찬 상태)에는 항생제가 별 효과가 없다는 연구가 많습니다.
  • 배농: 코 안의 농을 빼주면 귀의 압력이 줄어들어 통증이 사라집니다.
  • 관 삽입술: 청력 손실이 심각할 때 고려하는 최후의 수단입니다. 보존 치료를 먼저 해보세요.

누워서 우유를 먹이면 이관으로 역류해 중이염이 잘 걸립니다. 머리를 높여주세요.
