Acute serous otitis media, right ear

The fluid buildup in OME usually goes away within four to six weeks without any treatment. The OME fluid is not infected, so the doctor won't suggest antibiotics immediately. But if your child has any other infection apart from OME, they may prescribe you antibiotic medications.
Allergies, air irritants, and respiratory infections can all cause OME. Changes in air pressure can close the eustachian tube and affect fluid flow. These causes might be due to flying in an airplane or by drinking while lying down.
Treating middle ear infections Most middle ear infections (otitis media) clear up within three to five days and don't need any specific treatment. You can relieve any pain and a high temperature using over the counter painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
