There were 82 (38.7 per cent) chronic suppurative otitis media cases. The incidence of acute otitis media and chronic suppurative otitis media in the first year of life was 54.6 per cent and 45.1 per cent respectively. Chronic suppurative otitis media patients were assigned to one of three treatment groups. Recovery occurred in 70.4 per cent of amoxicillin-treated patients, in 88.9 per cent of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid treated patients and in 96.4 per cent of culture and antibiotic sensitivity test patients. Relapses were seen only in the amoxicillin (five cases) and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (two cases) groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215115001127_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The success rate in patients treated with antibiotics makes this option mandatory for an established diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215115001127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,15]],"date-time":"2015-06-15T03:12:18Z","timestamp":1434337938000},"page":"779-783","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Occurrence of otitis media in children and assessment of treatment options"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"129","author":[{"given":"N N","family":"Nwokoye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L O","family":"Egwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"O O","family":"Olubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref9","first-page":"175","article-title":"Chronic suppurative otitis media in school children of Kathmandu valley","volume":"11","author":"Adhikari","year":"2007","journal-title":"Intl Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006454-199208001-00002"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00020840-200312000-00002"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2431-5-27"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006454-200207000-00013"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)15495-0"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref13","first-page":"126","article-title":"Otitis media in developing countries","volume":"96","author":"Berman","year":"1995","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.113.3.e238"},{"key":"S0022215115001127_ref2","unstructured":"Marcy M , Takata G , Chan LS , Shekelle P , Mason W , Wachsman L Management of Acute Otitis Media.
