AB The  diagnosis  of  otitis  media  is  based  on  the  rapid  onset  of  signs  and  symptoms  of  middle  ear  inflammation  in  the  presence  of  middle  ear  effusion.  Pneumatic  otoscopy  is  an  essential  component  of  the  ear  examination.Worsening  otitis  media  while  on  antibiotics  may  be  a  sign  of  a  suppurative  complication.Consider  sinusitis  in  patients  with  severe  rhinitis  and  in  patients  with  persistent  or  worsening  upper  respiratory  infection  (URI)  symptoms  after  10  days.Hospitalize  patients  with  sinusitis  with  orbital  or  intracranial  extension  for  intravenous  antibiotics,  sinus  imaging,  and  subspecialty  consultation.
