The illness is usually caused by abnormalities in the Eustachian tube's function, which lead to the retention and purging of secretions. A perforated tympanic membrane may also be linked to purulent otorrhea in cases of AOM. Most of the time, AOM reacts quickly to antibiotic therapy (Suzuki et al., 2020). Diagnosis, (ICD 10 code and reference): Perichondritis H61.019 An infection of the skin and tissue around the outer ear cartilage is called perichondritis. The most common causes of perichondritis are ear injuries from sports injuries, piercings, and ear surgery (Rivera- Morales et al., n.d.). Diagnosis, (ICD 10 code and reference): Otitis externa H60.9 The illness known as otitis externa results in inflammation (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, which is the passageway that connects the Diagnosis Presumptive diagnosis (ICD 10 code and reference): Acute Otitis Media H65.00

Otitis externa is commonly known as "swimmer's ear" due to the increased susceptibility of the ear canal to inflammation caused by frequent exposure to water (Wiegand et al., 2019). Plan/Therapeutics: Controlling discomfort and using antibiotics to treat the infectious process are the two main goals of treatment for acute otitis media. Acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti- inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) can be used to manage pain. While watchful waiting has not acquired widespread support in the United States, there are disagreements regarding the prescription of antibiotics in cases of early otitis media. However, oral medicines are recommended to treat this bacterial infection if there is clinical evidence of suppurative AOM; high-dose amoxicillin or a second- generation cephalosporin are the recommended first-line treatments. The patient was prescribed 400mg amoxicillin (250mg/5ml) BID for 10 days (Suzuki et al., 2020). Diagnostics: Ear exam Education Provided : Most infections of the ears clear up in a few days. You can assist your youngster feel more at ease by giving their ears warm compresses. Infants and young children shouldn't use aspirin. Finish the entire antibiotic course. Mitigating the controllable risk factors may help avert middle ear infections. Instruct your kids on proper hand washing techniques. Keep the smoke from cigarettes away from your kids. Maintain an upright posture when feeding your infant from a bottle. When your child is lying down, don't let him or her drink from a bottle or Sippy cup. Chronic ear infections resulting from untreated middle ear infections raise the chance of an eardrum perforation.
