Clinical findings noted in the assessment that
point to otitis externa include

Otitis externa is also known as swimmer's ear and is associated with inflam-mation and
possibly exudate in the external auditory canal. Otitis externa is confirmed when there
are no other disorders such as otitis media or mastoiditis. Fever is usually absent, and
hearing is unaffected. Often there is tenderness on palpation of the tragus and
Rationale for the Previous Question manipulation of the auricle. The lining of the canal is erythematous and edematous, and
discharge may be seen. Another factor that suggests otitis externa is that the child has
been swimming daily for the past week. The other findings noted are not risk factors for
this problem. Attending full school days heightens the risk for otitis media, which can
occur secondary to an upper respiratory infection.
