Overview
For mastoiditis following chronic or recurrent otitis media, preventing recurrence of the disease involves surgery, assuming the manifestation is not self-limited. Myringotomy with tympanostomy tube and mastoidectomy are the most common surgical preventative measures.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary prevention strategies following mastoiditis include:
- Early, adequate treatment of acute otitis media, which reduces the risk of developing mastoiditis but does not completely eliminate risk
- Prompt treatment of acute mastoiditis and early management of acute otitis media that is not responding to antibiotic therapy, which may decrease the risk of developing complications of mastoiditis
- Early myringotomy in mastoiditis and consideration surgery options, which may decrease the risk of developing complications of mastoiditis[1]
