1 answer:
A primary health care provider diagnoses the client's condition as otitis media. Redness of the eardrum observed during examination by an otoscope supports that diagnosis.
An ear infection which is also known as acute otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Children are more susceptible to ear infections rather than the adults.
Symptoms of otitis media include ear pain, irritability, poor sleep, drainage from the ear, trouble in hearing, loss of appetite and fever. A healthy eardrum will be pinkish gray in color and translucent or clear. However, if the infection is present, the eardrum may be inflamed, swollen or red.
