Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of Acute otitis media include treatment predisposing factors(exposure to tobacco smoke), influenza virus and/or pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and influenza vaccine vaccine is recommended during infancy to prevent acute otitis media.
Primary Prevention
The following steps can help prevent earaches:
- Avoid smoking near children. Smoking has been shown to cause millions of ear infections each year in children.
- Prevent outer ear infections by not putting objects in the ear, and drying the ear after bathing or swimming.
- Take steps to control allergies. In particular, avoid allergy triggers. Steroid nasal spray may help reduce ear infections. However, over-the-counter sedating antihistamines and decongestants do not prevent ear infections.
