ASSESSMENT

Acute Otitis Media, Left Ear (H65.02): is diagnosed in patients with acute onset, presence of middle ear effusion, physical evidence of middle ear inflammation, and symptoms such as pain, irritability, or fever. Acute Otitis media is usually a complication of Eustachian tube dysfunction that occurs during a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis are the most common organisms isolated from middle ear fluid. (Domino, Baldor, Golding & Stephens, 2017) .According to (Burns, 2017) It is essential accurately diagnose Otitis media to reduce overtreatment and antibiotic resistance, and There are different types AOM, Suppurative effusion of the middle ear, other is Bullous myringitis AOM in which bullae form between the inner and middle layers of the TM and bulge outward, persistent when AOM that has not resolved when antibiotic therapy has been completed or AOM recurs within days of treatment and recurrent when Three separate bouts of AOM within a 6-month period or four within a 12-month period; often a positive family history of Otitis media and other ENT disease, to support this diagnosis Left tympanic membrane Erythematous and bulging with diminished light reflex is showed in the ear exam

Differential diagnosis

Diffuse Otitis Externa (OE), commonly called swimmer's ear, is a diffuse inflammation of the external auditory canal (EAC) and can involve the auricle, or both. Inflammation is evidenced as simple infection with edema, discharge, and erythema; furuncles or small abscesses that form in hair follicles; or impetigo or infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis. OE results when the protective barriers in the EAC are damaged by mechanical or chemical mechanisms. OE.The most common causative organisms are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus (Buttaro, Trybulski, Polgar-Bailey & Sandberg-Cook, 2017). This diagnosis was ruled out based on no complaints of itching and symptoms of the disease.

Other differential diagnosis to take into consideration: The assessment conducted also rules out mastoiditis, cholesteatoma, otitis externa and otitis media with effusion.

Mastoiditis: It is an inflammatory of the mastoid in the temporal bone. The mastoid is a structure contiguous to the middle ear cleft and an extension of it. The clinical presentation is characterized by symptoms involving the middle ear such as fever, local pain, and conductive hearing loss. Typically, patients with this illness presented with fever, irritability, lethargy, swelling of the ear lobe, Redness and tenderness behind the ear, Drainage from the ear, Bulging and drooping of the ear (Burns et al, 2017). This is also not the case were presented, so it is discarded.

Miryngitis: These patients may have no symptoms attributable to the middle ear.On otoscopy there is erythema and injection of the tympanic membrane in the neutral position without other features of otitis media.

PLAN

No labs /Diagnostic test ordered

Pharmacological treatment:

Amoxicillin 500 mg 1 tab PO every 12 hours for 10 days (dosage (90mg/kg/day)

Acetaminophen 325 mg 1 cap PO every 4-6 hours PRN for fever or pain (dosage 10-15 mg/kg orally/rectally every 4-6 hours when required, maximum 75 mg/kg/day)

Non-pharmacological measures:

Patient’s mother has been educated on increasing the fluids and to uses less clothing. Popsicles and iced drinks are helpful to recover the body fluids that are lost during fevers because of sweating. Sponging is a method that can be used to reduce the fever along with the Acetaminophen prescribed. Patient’s caregivers were recommended to not sponge the child without giving Acetaminophen first.

Education:

-Avoid Q tip use.

-Proper Nutrition/rest

-Proper use of antibiotics is important and misunderstanding of technique can lead to treatment failure. For this reason, placement of drops should be taught in the office. Xylitol, probiotics, herbal ear drops, and homeopathic interventions may be beneficial in reducing pain duration, antibiotic use, and bacterial resistance.

-Even though an ear infection is not transmissible, the causative biological agents (bacteria or virus) are often passed from person to person. It’s very important to take into account the following measures: vaccination against Pneumococcal injection your child with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to protect against several types of pneumococcal bacteria. This type of bacteria is the most common cause of ear infections.

-Practice routine hand washing and avoid sharing food and drinks, especially if your child is exposed to large groups of kids in day care or school settings.

-Avoid second-hand smoke. Recommendation against cigarette smoke exposure is one of the most important measure to practice preventing Otitis media.

Referral/Follow up: No referral needed at this moment. Monitoring 48 hours after therapy if experiencing worsening symptoms, if current treatment is not successful to treat the condition, or new symptoms/side effects develop.

If the patient has more than one complaint, each complaint should be listed separately (1, 2, etc.) and each addressed in the subjective and under the appropriate number.

· Subjective Data (___30pts.): This is the historical part of the note. It contains the following:

a) Symptom analysis/HPI (Location, quality, quantity or severity, timing, setting, factors that make it better or worse, and associate manifestations.(10pts).

b) Review of systems of associated systems, reporting all pertinent positives and negatives (10pts).

c) Any PMH, family hx, social hx, allergies, medications related to the complaint/problem (10pts). If more than one chief complaint, each should be written in this manner.

If you have more than one diagnosis, it is helpful to have this section divided into separate numbered sections. Should not be generic information and should be tailored to your patient and their needs / specific diagnosis.

· Subjective/ Objective, Assessment and Management and Consistent (___10pts.): Does the note support the appropriate differential diagnosis process?
