AB  - A  15-month-old  boy  is  brought  by  both  parents  to  his  family  physician  with  a  2-day  history  of  fever,  irritability,  and  frequent  tugging  of  his  left  ear.  This  was  preceded  by  a  1-week  history  of  nasal  congestion,  cough,  and  rhinorrhea.  On  otoscopy,  his  left  tympanic  membrane  (TM)  appears  erythematous,  cloudy,  bulging,  and  exudative  (Figure  26-1).  His  left  TM  fails  to  move  on  pneumatic  otoscopy.  The  physician  diagnoses  acute  otitis  media  and  decides  with  the  parents  to  prescribe  a  10-day  course  of  amoxicillin;  the  child  recovers  uneventfully.
