Otitis, Sinusitis, and Mastoiditis: Ear or Facial Pain Following a Common Cold 2018-10-15 .txt text/plain 7004 383 41 The presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, allergic rhinitis, and viral upper respiratory infections can all lead to inflammation of the eustachian tube and surrounding tissues resulting in the presence of increased secretions in the middle ear that accumulates because the eustachian tube is not fully patent [2] [3] [4] . The most common bacterial causes of AOM include Streptococcus pneumoniae, non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. S. aureus should be included on the list of possible infecting agents in patients who have tympanostomy tubes, as these medical devices serve as a conduit between the bacteria normally present in the EAC and the middle ear. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is a more precise name for the condition caused by bacterial pathogens, and like AOM, it typically occurs when drainage is impaired secondary to the inflammation associated with a recent viral infection. ./cache/cord-022122-6ssdamhp.txt ./txt/cord-022122-6ssdamhp.txt
