Introduction

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is characterized by the presence of no purulent fluid in the middle ear without perforation of the tympanic membrane (TM). Signs of active infection are rare, and most patients with OME are asymptomatic. OME is usually caused by Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction (e.g. ET is unable to drain fluid because of blockage) or a previous episode of acute otitis media (AOM). It frequently occurs in children and most often resolves spontaneously without sequelae. For information about the path physiology of OME.

The inflammation of the middle ear is the second most severe disease that affects children after the common cold, more cases of otitis media in children occur after the common cold, where child suddenly complains from severe pain in the ear, and the baby gets a fever. Especially at night, difficulty in lactation occurs. Agitation occurs and sometimes a yellow liquid starts to run out of the ear (McCracken, 1998).

If parents observe any of these symptoms on the child after the cold, they must consult a doctor, otitis media can occur in children normally once every year, and most cases of ear infections in children heal without problems, but if repeated inflammation did not properly treated, may cause a decrease in hearing and other problems in the child (AAFP, 2004).

Discussion

Ear infections are very common in children, especially those younger than two years old, is a common cause of pediatrician visits. There are two main types of ear infections in children, ear infections and middle ear infections. Risk factors are to get a lot of middle ear infections, including exposure to many other children (as in a large day care), a parent or other family members smoking, other family members have had a lot of ear infections and down while drinking a bottles (Block, 1997).

Types of Sources of Evidence

All the sources provided are classified treatment and nursing practices of Otits Media treatment. Ear infections (also known as otitis externa or swimmers ear) usually occur in your child access to water in his ear, which may lead to inflammation and infection. Your children will have symptoms of earache, which is worse, when you move outside of his ear lobes. Such infections are usually treated with antibiotics eardrops (Block, 1997).

Middle ear infection (acute otitis media), usually occurs a week or two after your child has an upper respiratory infection, which can cause inflammation and fluid behind the drum set up their own ears. This fluid can be a bacterial infection, your child is likely to develop ear pain, fever, irritability, and he may be grabbing his ears. If your doctor can tell that your child has middle ear infection in his ear to find the eardrum. Because ear infections, eardrum looked red and pus expansion is usually because it is behind the building. Tympanic membrane will not move, this means that your pediatrician will not see the eardrum moves, he blows out of rubber bulb otoscope (McCracken, 1998).

Watchful Waiting

Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Moraxella catarrhalis are the common causes of COME. More than 50f children with cleft palate deformities have ET dysfunction. The ET is dysfunctional in these children because the muscle (i.e., veli palatine) that opens the ET during swallowing or mouth widening is not attached to the soft ...
