What is a good treatment for otistis media with effusion? i have it and it is pretty disturbing with the fullness in my ears.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Otitis media with effusion(OME) is less common in adults than in children. In children it follows acute otitis media. In adults it's usually due to Eustachian tube dysfunction. ETD can be the result of sinusitis, allergy, deviated septum, nasopharyngeal tumor, large tonsils or adenoids or frequent URI's. Antibiotics and corticosteroids/decongestants not usually helpful SEE: http://bit.ly/2bOuEer
