OTITIS MEDIA, ACUTE, IN CHILDREN

Course overview

Acute otitis media (AOM) is an infection of the middle ear (i.e., the space between the eardrum and inner ear). AOM usually spreads from infection in the sinuses, nasal cavity, and/or adenoids. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of AOM in children, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
