Abstract

The literature data suggest overdiagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM). The use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines allows to accurately diagnose a disease and to avoid unjustified appointment of antibacterial drugs. Instrumental methods of diagnosis of AOM include pneumatic otoscopy, tympanometry, and spectral acoustic gradient reflectometry. Antibacterial and symptomatic therapy, including analgesics and antipyretics, eliminates general and local symptoms within 48-72 hours. Among the possible complications of AOM in children, special attention should be given to persistent loss of hearing because of great social significance in relation to the impact on language development and learning.
