I teach day care providers how to use otoscopes, too. And of course, there is Otitis Externa, or swimmer's ear . It happens all of the time. They are treated quite differently. This is for swimmer's ear of course, not otitis media.
Children tend to grow out of otitis media by age six.
Our time has gone by fast and unfortunately we are out of time. I'd like to thank Dr. Moser for a wonderful discussion on Ear Infections. Have a great night everyone. All rights reserved.
