Abstract

Acute Otitis Media (AOM) is a common middle ear infection in children, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of AOM in children treated at rural health centers (puskesmas) and to examine the barriers to effective management. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through a literature review analyzing symptoms, stages, risk factors, and treatment approaches. The findings reveal that AOM in children often begins with an upper respiratory tract infection and presents with sudden ear pain, high fever, sleep disturbances, and ear discharge. Risk factors include young age, poor environmental conditions, and limited access to healthcare services. Management of AOM depends on its clinical stage and requires accurate diagnosis. However, in rural puskesmas, a lack of diagnostic tools and limited public awareness often leads to delayed treatment. Therefore, it is essential to provide health workers with basic ENT training, ensure the availability of diagnostic equipment, and educate parents to enable early detection and prevent complications that could affect a child’s development.

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs widely in the global population. This disease is related to the body's hypersensitivity to allergens from the external environment. Available therapy for allergic rhinitis is only symptomatic, while primary therapy has several problems, such as access, time, and cost. Research related to renewable rhinitis therapy is needed, one of which is the use of probiotics as a therapeutic agent. The research method used was a literature review through the PubMed and GoogleScholar databases using the keywords "Rhinitis," "Probiotics," "NSS," and "TNSS." The literature search process was carried out systematically by applying several inclusion criteria. In total, four final articles were obtained from a total of 27 available articles. The results of nasal symptom score (NSS) and total nasal symptom score (TNSS) measurements in several analyzed studies indicated the potential of probiotics such as NVP1703, the combination of B. animalis Subsp. Lactis BB12 with Enterococcus faecium L3, and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei GM-080 in treating allergic rhinitis symptoms. Probiotics as a renewable therapeutic agent for allergic rhinitis have been shown to reduce symptoms, as measured by a decrease in mean NSS and TNSS values. The antiallergic activity of probiotics occurs through regulatory mechanisms of Th1 cells, Th2 cells, inflammatory mediators, and the production of pro-inflammatory antagonist compounds.
