Overview
Preventing mastoiditis primarily involves preventing development of otitis media and nasopharyngitis. This is achieved by the pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, frequent washing of hands, and avoiding fluid transmission and respiratory droplets from nasopharyngitis patients. Preventing exposure to air pollution and potential middle ear irritants, such as secondhand smoke, contributes to preventing otitis media. For infants, preventive measures include avoiding pacifiers, avoiding daycare enrollment, and breastfeeding until at least 6 months of age. A prophylactic regimen of antibiotics can prevent otitis media in at-risk infants and children.
Primary Prevention
Preventive measures for mastoiditis involve, preventing the development of otitis media and nasopharyngitis from infectious pathogens:
- Administering the following vaccinations:[1]
- Washing hands frequently.
- Avoiding fluid transmission with nasopharyngitis patients.
- Avoiding coughing and respiratory droplets from patients with respiratory illness and nasopharyngitis.
- Avoiding first or secondhand smoke or other air pollutants with potential for middle ear irritation.[2]
- Avoiding use of pacifiers in infants.
- Avoiding enrollment in daycare centers.
- Breastfeeding infants until at least 6 months of age.[3]
- This is correlated with higher levels of antibodies to acute otitis media causative agent nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, as well as pathogenic outer membrane protein P6.
Administering a prophylactic antibiotic regimen for children at risk for developing recurrent otitis media (such as immunosuppressed children, genetically susceptible):
- Preferred regimen (1): Amoxicillin 20 mg/kg po once daily.[4]
- Preferred regimen (2): Sulfisoxazole 50 mg/kg po at bedtime.[4]
- Alternative Regimen (1): TMP-SMX 4 mg-20 mg/kg once daily.[4]
