Otitis media is a generic term that refers to an inflammation of the middle ear. The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum. Otitis media with effusion means there is fluid (effusion) in the middle ear, without an infection.
Ear Infection. Be aware that serous otitis media is not an ear infection, otherwise known as acute otitis media. While both have fluid in the middle ear space, fluid with acute otitis media is infected, whereas that is not the case with serous otitis media.
Otitis media with effusion, or swelling and fluid buildup (effusion) in the middle ear without bacterial or viral infection. This may occur because the fluid buildup persists after an ear infection has gotten better. It may also occur because of some dysfunction or noninfectious blockage of the eustachian tubes.
ICD-10-CM: H66. 001 (acute suppurative otitis media without spontaneous rupture of eardrum, right ear) CPT: 99203.
Acute Serous Otitis Media Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common ear infection, causing pain and swelling in the ear. A doctor can diagnose AOM simply by looking into your child's ears with an otoscope.
Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, which is the tube between the outer ear and eardrum.
Surgery has become the most widely accepted therapeutic intervention for persistent otitis media with effusion (OME), and it is clearly effective. The interventions include myringotomy with or without tube insertion, adenoidectomy, or both.
Antibiotics, taken by mouth or as ear drops. Medication for pain. Decongestants, antihistamines, or nasal steroids. For chronic otitis media with effusion, an ear tube (tympanostomy tube) may help (see below)
High-dose amoxicillin (80 to 90 mg per kg per day) is the antibiotic of choice for treating acute otitis media in patients who are not allergic to penicillin.
Treatment & Care This condition most often clears up on its own within 4 to 6 weeks. Antibiotics are not needed unless your child also has an upper respiratory infection. If the condition lasts longer than 2 or 3 months, your child may need to have tubes put in the ears.
