If your child simply has an ear infection but no cold symptoms, he or she is not necessarily contagious. What is the difference between fluid in the ear and an ear infection? Acute otitis media (middle ear infection) means that the space behind the eardrum - the middle ear - is full of infected fluid (pus). If there is no fluid, there is no ear infection, no matter how red the eardrum appears. Sometimes, the fluid behind the ear is not infected, but instead is clean (sterile).
Nadolol is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) in people with high blood pressure, a previous heart attack, or heart failure.
Our findings indicated that the addition of ligation to nadolol may increase adverse events and does not enhance effectiveness in preventing first variceal bleeding, Dr. Lo said. Previous meta analysis of trials found that severe adverse events were significantly less in EVL compared with beta blockers.
