Question

Matt Smith is a 5 y/o who has a history of frequent otitis media. His mother relates that his hearing has decreased. Otoscopy reveals serous otitis media in the right middle ear. The ENT specialist explains this condition to Matt's mother in terms she can understand. Group of answer choices "Serous otitis media arises from acute purulent otitis media. It is a buildup of suppurative exudate within the middle ear due to infection. The exudate remains in the middle ear and causes repeated infection." "Serous otitis media arises from otitis media with effusion that occurs after acute otitis media. This effusion builds up in the middle ear and interferes with hearing and can cause ear infections." "Because your son has had several ear infections, there has been a build up of fluid in the ear that lasts even after the infection has gone away. This fluid blocks sound waves which decreases your son's ability to hear and often leads to frequent ear infections."
