ABSTRACT Recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) represents at least 3 or more separate episodes of acute otitis media within 6 months or four or more episodes over a 12-month period. The incidence of recurrent otitis media varies from 5 to 30% and does not tend to decrease. Until now, the questions of conservative and surgical treatment of patients remain unsolved. One of the main methods of treatment is antimicrobial therapy. Recently, the treatment of recurrent otitis media is complicated by the increasing acquired resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial drugs. There is also no consensus on the need for and scope of surgical interventions for children with RAOM. The authors in their article cite existing modern approaches to the prevention and treatment of RAOM in children. PMID:35274892 | DOI:10.17116/otorino20228701146 View on the web Inoreader.
