Antibiotic treatment of secretory otitis media assessed by impedence audiometry.
Impedence audiometry was used to assess the response to treatment with antibiotics of children with secretory otitis media. Only ears with pressure at maximum compliance of less than --150mm water were included. There was a significant improvement with Bactrim, ampicillin and Vibramycin. There was no change without treatment and deterioration with penicillin.
