My son is 2.5 years old. For two years, he has often been ill with otitis media. On average, 8-10 times a year. An allergy is suspected, although tests have not yet revealed anything. He took various antibiotics and other medications. Only Momester helps, but only when it is used 2 times a day, when we try to reduce the dose to one day or stop to take a break in use, otitis immediately returns. What to do?

In the event that the use of Momester helps to prevent otitis media, but the problem returns when the drug is reduced or discontinued, this suggests that the problem may be related to an inflammatory process that has not yet been completely cured. However, long-term use of intranasal glucocorticoids (such as Momester) for the prevention of otitis media is not recommended, due to the predominance of adverse effects over beneficial ones. Otitis in children most often occurs as a result of the spread of viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The cause of this disease may also be genetic predisposition, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux and frequent colds. It is also important to ensure proper ear hygiene and avoid factors that can contribute to middle ear infections, such as neglecting the treatment of colds or upper respiratory tract infections.
