Abstract
Recurrent otitis media (ROM) remains a frequent and complex pediatric health problem. It tends to prompt multiple doctor visits, antibiotic prescriptions and, not infrequently, damage to hearing as well as speech development. ROM is defined by the occurrence of recurrent episodes of acute otitis media in a specific time period and develops because of multiple factors including anatomical, immunological, environmental and microbial. This article provides an overview of the current understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic criteria, and management of ROM. Medical, surgical, and preventative options are reviewed in order to help clinicians provide evidence-based care and reduce the impact of this disease in children.
