Acute otitis media is the subject of many unresolved points of controversy: 1) correct diagnosis; 2) whether or not bacteria are present in each case of acute otitis media; 3) spontaneous course; 4) indication of antibiotherapy; 5) treatment of recurrent acute otitis media; and 6) the place of alternative medicine, such as homeopathy. There is no ideal response. It is important, however, to take into account the knowledge of the different otoscopic stages of acute otitis media and the fact that the course of the disease is spontaneously favorable in the majority of cases. Selective prescription of an antibiotic in cases of purulent otitis only, and attention directed towards early recognition of complications, appear to be the most appropriate attitudes in the management of the disease, helping to reduce the alarmingly increasing numbers of resistant bacteria.
