Overview
For mastoiditis following of 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 is the most common surgical preventative measure.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary prevention strategies following mastoiditis include:
- Early, adequate treatment of acute otitis media reduces the risk of developing mastoiditis but does not eradicate it completely.
- Prompt treatment of acute mastoiditis and early management of acute otitis media that is not responding to antibiotic therapy may decrease the risk of developing complications of mastoiditis[1]
- Early myringotomy in mastoiditis and considering surgery options may decrease the risk of developing complications of mastoiditis.
