Over-feeding, as in feeding on demand, may cause food stagnation as may feeding hard-to-digest substances and substances which damage the spleen. This includes sugars and sweets, chilled, frozen foods and drinks, and raw, uncooked foods. Therefore, proper diet is crucially important in the overall treatment of children with either acute or chronic otitis media. In general, Chinese medicine recommends a clear, bland, hypoallergenic, yeast-free anti-candidal diet. Chinese doctors in China and the West have confirmed that antibiotics may also damage the spleen. Post-antibiotic spleen vacuity syndrome has now become a recognized syndrome in the Chinese medical literature.
