Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

H73.19 Myringitis: These patients may have no symptoms attributable to the middle ear.

H70.893 Mastoiditis: There is no edema, erythema, and tenderness over the mastoid process.

H71.90 Cholesteatoma: Patients may present with painless otorrhea and hearing loss. Opacification of the tympanic membrane may lead to a misdiagnosis of AOM

.

· Final diagnosis

· H65.01 Acute serous otitis media, right ear: A physical examination was normal except for findings of a slightly red left tympanic membrane with no middle-ear fluid and a bulging right tympanic membrane with white fluid behind it, obscuring the umbo (Hendley, 2002).

Plan

· Medication:

· Amoxicillin 80mg/kg, PO, Daily, x 7 days. Early diagnosis and treatment of AOM, including the rational use of antibiotics should be improved, by incorporating clinical algorithms in current outpatient guidelines and by supporting the use of otoscopy in primary care practice (Monasta, Ronfani, Marchetti, Montico, Brumatti, Bavcar, Barbiero & Tamburlini, 2012).

· Education:

· Hand hygiene

· Proper hydration

· Use tissue for mucous and dispose properly

· Instruct mother about Amoxicillin such: Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure the liquid with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon.

· Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. His symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared.

· Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If he has diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop taking amoxicillin and call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.

· You may store liquid amoxicillin in a refrigerator but do not allow it to freeze. Throw away any liquid amoxicillin that is not used within 14 days after it was mixed at the pharmacy.

· Avoid taking baths in pools
