- Abstract
This comprehensive document delves into acute otitis media (AOM) in children, exploring various aspects such as diagnosis, risk factors, definition, aetiology, clinical presentation, complications, treatment, prevention, and new approaches. It is updated based on recent consensus documents and considers the impact of pneumococcal vaccines. Emphasis is placed on the importance of rigorous clinical criteria, diagnostic tools are discussed, and treatment strategies are proposed, highlighting the relevance of individualised care. Specific considerations regarding pneumatic otoscopy and the appropriateness of imaging tests are addressed. The document concludes with key points to enhance diagnostic accuracy, antibiotic treatment strategies, and recommendations for managing recurrent AOM, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date guide for pediatric healthcare professionals.
