Otitis media can be a vexing, recurrent problem. An episode is often treated with antibiotics, followed by reevaluation at two weeks. The complete resolution of effusion, however, may never be documented. Impairments in children's speech, language and cognition have been related to chronic and continuous middle ear disease. Responses to antibiotic regimens must be carefully monitored. Follow-up is essential.
中耳炎可能是一个令人烦恼的复发性问题。通常用抗生素治疗一个疗程，然后在两周后进行重新评估。然而，积液可能永远无法完全消退。儿童的言语、语言和认知障碍与慢性持续性中耳疾病有关。必须密切监测对抗生素治疗方案的反应。随访至关重要。
