HI.The commonest reason for Otitis Media after adenoidectomy is damage to the Eustachian tubes. NO need to undergo all the same procedure again. Keep the patient on a long course of antibiotics , anti-inflammatory and antihistamine medicines along with nasal decongestant drops and if required a course of oral steroid in tapering dosages.
