Question
Which of the following statements is incorrect?Question 12Select one or more:a.Middle ear disease is more prevalent in indigenous communities.b.Treat pain with adequate and regular simple analgesia.c.Decongestants, antihistamines and corticosteroids are not effective in AOMd.All children should be given antibiotics to avoid an eardrum rupture.e.Most cases of AOM in children resolve spontaneously and antibiotics are not recommended.
Solution
The incorrect statement is: "All children should be given antibiotics to avoid an eardrum rupture." This is not true because not all cases of Acute Otitis Media (AOM) require antibiotics. In fact, most cases of AOM in children resolve spontaneously and antibiotics are not recommended unless the child is very ill or the symptoms persist for more than a few days. Overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance and other side effects. Therefore, antibiotics should be used judiciously and not for all cases of AOM.
