Yоur pаtient presents tо clinic with cоmplаint of copious dischаrge from his right ear. He was seen at an urgent care a few days ago and diagnosed with acute otitis media and prescribed antibiotics. He reports having right ear pain prior to the discharge occurring, but the pain has abruptly resolved since noting the discharge. You perform otoscopic examination and are unable to visualize the tympanic membrane due to the amount of discharge present. Your next step should be to perform irrigation of the ear to clear the discharge and continue your exam.
