Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study is being done to see if reflux of stomach fluid might be a cause of chronic fluid in the ears. Our hypothesis is that treatment with an anti-reflux medication (lansoprazole) will increase the rate of resolution of chronic middle ear fluid in children.
