Otitis media is one of the most common diseases in children, with 80% of children experiencing it by the age of three years. Therefore, the resulting social burden is enormous. In addition, many countries still suffer from complications due to otitis media. Meanwhile, COVID-19 has affected many diseases, with otitis media being one of the most strongly affected. This review aims to find out how COVID-19 has affected otitis media and its significance. A series of measures brought about by COVID-19, including emphasis on personal hygiene and social distancing, had many unexpected positive effects on otitis media. These can be broadly classified into four categories: first, the incidence of otitis media was drastically reduced. Second, antibiotic prescriptions for otitis media decreased. Third, the incidence of complications of otitis media was reduced. Fourth, the number of patients visiting the emergency room due to otitis media decreased. The quarantine measures put in place due to COVID-19 suppressed the onset and exacerbation of otitis media. This has great implications for the treatment and prevention of otitis media.
中耳炎是儿童最常见的疾病之一，80%的儿童在三岁前都会经历中耳炎。因此，由此产生的社会负担是巨大的。此外，许多国家仍因中耳炎而遭受并发症的困扰。同时，COVID-19 也影响了许多疾病，中耳炎是受影响最严重的疾病之一。本综述旨在了解 COVID-19 如何影响中耳炎及其意义。COVID-19 带来的一系列措施，包括强调个人卫生和保持社交距离，对中耳炎产生了许多意想不到的积极影响。这些可以大致分为四类：第一，中耳炎的发病率大幅降低。第二，中耳炎的抗生素处方减少。第三，中耳炎并发症的发病率降低。第四，因中耳炎而到急诊室就诊的患者人数减少。COVID-19 实施的隔离措施抑制了中耳炎的发作和恶化。这对中耳炎的治疗和预防具有重要意义。
