"Why Does My Ears Secretory Otitis Media Keep Recurring?"

Recurrence of Secretory Otitis Media May Be Related to Nasal Diseases, Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, and Medication Factors

Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under the guidance of a physician. The following are potential causes and recommended treatments:

1. Nasal Diseases

Patients with existing conditions such as rhinitis or sinusitis may experience nasal mucosa congestion and swelling, which can impair the normal function of the Eustachian tube, leading to recurrent secretory otitis media. In such cases, patients can use medications like Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray or Budesonide Nasal Spray under the doctor's guidance.

2. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Long-term smoking or chronic tonsillitis can lead to Eustachian tube dysfunction, causing the gas in the middle ear to be absorbed, resulting in recurrent secretory otitis media. Patients can take medications like Cefixime Capsules or Amoxicillin Capsules as prescribed by their doctors.

3. Medication Factors

Failure to strictly follow the doctor's instructions during treatment, such as reducing the dosage or discontinuing medication without permission, can cause recurrent episodes of secretory otitis media. Patients must adhere strictly to the prescribed medication and maintain a positive mindset, avoiding excessive emotional excitement.

4. Other Causes

Frequent late nights or excessive fatigue during illness can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of bacterial infection, potentially triggering recurrent secretory otitis media. Patients are advised to rest adequately, ensure sufficient sleep, and engage in regular exercise to enhance their physical fitness.
