What is Otitis media with effusion?
Otitis media with effusion (OME) refers to fluid in the middle ear space without symptoms of an acute ear infection. Unlike children with an acute ear infection, children with OME do not act sick.
Almost every acute ear infection is followed by days or weeks of OME. In addition, many people develop OME without first having acute inflammation.
Alternative Names:
OME; Secretory otitis media; Serous otitis media; Silent otitis media; Silent ear infection; Glue ear
