Impedence audiometry was used to assess the response to treatment with antibiotics of children with secretory otitis media. Only ears with pressure at maximum compliance of less than --150mm water were included. There was a significant improvement with Bactrim, ampicillin and Vibramycin. There was no change without treatment and deterioration with penicillin.
