Alexa has been diagnosed with otitis media, which is an inflammation of the middle ear.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The symptoms of irritation and pulling of ears as noted by mother are all symptomatic of otitis media, inflammation of the middle ear.  She should be immediately started on analgesics adequately.

And, depending on the symptoms whether it is mild or severe, the dosage of antibiotics can be considered.  Since Alexa is a 2-year-old, antibiotics can be deferred.  If the symptoms are severe, a dose of amoxicillin could be started in case she is not allergic to penicillin.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Size and shape of the cell can help you determine healthy vs. non-healthy cells.

A normal cell also has a large cytoplasmic volume, with a controlled growth. The opposite is true for cancer cells.

Explanation:

The overall size and shape of cancer cells are often abnormal. They may be either smaller or larger than normal cells. Normal cells often have certain shapes that help them do their jobs. Cancer cells usually do not function in a useful way and their shapes are often distorted.
