Pediatric otitis media
Otitis media is an inflammatory lesion affecting all or part of the structure of the middle ear, including the eustachian tube, tympanic cavity, tympanic sinus, and mastoid airlock, and is more common in children. It can be divided into two categories: non-purulent and purulent. Non-purulent patients include secretory otitis media, barotraumatic otitis media, etc., and purulent patients are divided into acute and chronic. Specific inflammation is too rare, such as tuberculous otitis media.
