Abstract

Objective: To describe the overall results of medical treatment of Otitis media with effusion in children with gastroesophageal reflux. Research subjects and methods: All research articles include both retrospective and prospective analyzes of the results of treatment of Otitis media with effusion in children with gastroesophageal reflux. Systematic review research method. Research results: There were 5 studies with 272 patients with full text that met the selection criteria from 2007 to 2022. The youngest average age was 1.1 years and the oldest was 5.3 years. The most common symptoms are: chronic cough (38%-40.4%), hearing loss (50%), itchy ears (38%), fluid discharge from the ear (13%), vomiting (24% -27.7%), reflux (28%), bloating (19%). Most studies show high symptom improvement rates with antireflux regimens (32%-76%). Conclusion: Antireflux therapy with proton pump inhibitors is effective in relieving clinical symptoms and improving hearing thresholds in children with Otitis media with effusion with gastroesophageal reflux.
