If you suspect your child may have OME, you should schedule an appointment with your child's pediatrician. At your child's appointment, the physician will review the child's medical history and complete a physical examination of your child including inspecting the outer ear s and eardrum s using an otoscope.
The otoscope is a lighted instrument that allows the physician to see inside the ear. A pneumatic otoscope blows a puff of air into the ear to test eardrum movement. In addition, a hearing test may be ordered. The hearing levels and the findings on tympanometry may help to diagnose OME. The picture below represents the typical appearance of OME. This is what your doctor will be seeing when using an otoscope.
Treatment for OME depends on many factors and is tailored for each child. Please discuss your child's condition, treatment options and your preferences with your child's physician or healthcare provider. In most cases the fluid in OME resolves on its own within 4 to 6 weeks, so acute treatment is not needed.
In most cases, the middle ear fluid in OME is not infected so antibiotics are not indicated. However, if your child has an upper respiratory infection accompanying the OME, antibiotics may be indicated.
For pediatric practitioners, acute otitis media AOM and group A streptococcal pharyngitis are two of the most common infections seen in ambulatory practices. The purpose of this article is to review these conditions with the focus of highlighting evidence-based guidelines.
