ABSTRACT
The study was carried on 79 adenoidectomized patients suffering from secretory otitis media. Forty patients received medical treatment for 3 weeks consisting of decongestant nose drop, septazol suspension, phenadone syrup with one of three different types of mucolytic agents. The cure rate was 53.3%, 40% and 40% according to the mucolytic agent used as a part of the combination therapy. The average cure rate of medical treatment was 45%. In another 39 patients myringotomy and insertion of ventilation tubes were done. Four commonly used ventilation tubes were the Shepard Grommets, Collar Button, T tube and Paparella tube in 34, 8 and 4 ears, respectively, to compare the incidence to complications including otorrhea, obstruction and extrusion. The average follow up was 5 months
