AB  - Otitis  media  (OM)  is  a  global  health  care  problem  most  commonly  seen  in  the  pediatric  population.  Aside  from  upper  respiratory  infections,  OM  is  the  most  commonly  rendered  diagnosis  in  the  pediatric  primary  care  setting.  The  majority  of  children  will  be  diagnosed  with  at  least  one  episode  of  acute  otitis  media  (AOM)  with  rates  of  incidence  peaking  at  age  2.  Various  retrospective  studies  demonstrate  a  wide  berth  of  incidence,  suggesting  that  19–62%  of  children  will  experience  at  least  one  episode  of  AOM  by  age  1,  and  50–84%  of  children  by  age  3.
