In a case of serous otitis media all are done except: (A) Inseion of grommet, (B) Myringotomy, (C) Adenoidectomy, (D) Antibiotics are given
Answer is D. Antibiotics are useful in cases of upper respiratory tract infections or unresolved acute suppurative otitis media. Myringotomy with grommet inseion is the treatment of choice for serious otitis media. Adenoid hyperplasia, being an impoant cause of serious otitis media, reasons out the need for adenoidectomy.
