Ottis media is known as :

  • A.Stomach infection
  • B.Middle ear infection
  • C.Children media
  • D.Chest infection

Answer: B

Otitis media (printed 'Ottis media') is a middle ear infection.

The name comes from otitis, inflammation of the ear, and media, middle. It is common in young children because their Eustachian tubes are short and horizontal, so infection from the throat reaches the middle ear easily; it causes ear pain and fever and can affect hearing.

A stomach infection is gastroenteritis and a chest infection is bronchitis or pneumonia, and 'children media' is a distractor playing on the word 'media'.
