Chronic ear infections need a comprehensive approach. Options may include:
Antibiotics: Prolonged or repeated courses of antibiotics can combat persistent infections.
Ear Tubes: Insertion of tympanostomy tubes can ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup.
Surgery: In severe cases, patients may require surgical procedures like adenoidectomy or mastoidectomy.
Management of Underlying Conditions: Addressing allergies or sinusitis can reduce infection frequency.
