Otitis media with effusion (OME) involves fluid accumulation in the middle ear without infection, sometimes causing discomfort and hearing loss in children. Persistent middle ear fluid lasting over 3 months may require treatment, including placement of ventilation tubes if it affects hearing. Children with a cleft palate are at higher risk for otorrea after ventilation tube placement. Treatment typically involves antibiotic drops and ear cleaning by an ENT doctor, often requiring repeated visits, which may impact quality of life for both the child and the parents. The mouth, throat, and nose harbor bacteria that can influence ear infections.
